Description: Implements the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition method and
        generalizations of it that decompose differences in
        distributional statistics beyond the mean. The function
        ob_decompose() decomposes differences in the mean outcome
        between two groups into one part explained by different
        covariates (composition effect) and into another part due to
        differences in the way covariates are linked to the outcome
        variable (structure effect). The function further divides the
        two effects into the contribution of each covariate and allows
        for weighted doubly robust decompositions. For distributional
        statistics beyond the mean, the function performs the
        recentered influence function (RIF) decomposition proposed by
        Firpo, Fortin, and Lemieux (2018). The function dfl_decompose()
        divides differences in distributional statistics into an
        composition effect and a structure effect using inverse
        probability weighting as introduced by DiNardo, Fortin, and
        Lemieux (1996). The function also allows to sequentially
        decompose the composition effect into the contribution of
        single covariates. References: Firpo, Sergio, Nicole M. Fortin,
