DER: Income Polarization Index

Extremely fast and memory efficient computation of the DER (or PaF) income polarization index as proposed by Duclos J. Y., Esteban, J. and Ray D. (2004). "Polarization: concepts, measurement, estimation". Econometrica, 72(6): 1737–1772. <doi:10.1111/j.1468-0262.2004.00552.x>. The index may be computed for a single or for a range of values of the alpha-parameter and bootstrapping is also available.
