Description: Relative, generalized, and Erreygers corrected
        concentration index; plot Lorenz curves; and decompose health
        inequalities into contributing factors. The package currently
        works with (generalized) linear models, survival models,
        complex survey models, and marginal effects probit models.
        originally forked by Brecht Devleesschauwer from the 'decomp'
        package (no longer on CRAN), 'rineq' is now maintained by
        Kaspar Walter Meili. Compared to the earlier 'rineq' version on
        'github' by Brecht Devleesschauwer
        (<https://github.com/brechtdv/rineq>), the regression tree
        functionality has been removed. Improvements compared to
        earlier versions include improved plotting of decomposition and
        concentration, added functionality to calculate the
        concentration index with different methods, calculation of
        robust standard errors, and support for the decomposition
        analysis using marginal effects probit regression models. The
        development version is available at
        <https://github.com/kdevkdev/rineq>.
