inequantiles: Quantile-Based Inequality Indicators for Complex Survey Data

Estimates quantile-based inequality indicators from complex survey data, including the quantile ratio index (QRI), quintile share Ratio (QSR), Palma ratio, and percentile ratios, together with the Gini coefficient. Influence functions are provided for linearization and variance estimation, along with a rescaled bootstrap for complex sampling designs. Estimation from grouped data is also supported. See Scarpa et al. (2025) <doi:10.1093/jssam/smaf024> for details.
