Description: Calculates commonly used indicators for empirical international
    trade analysis from user-supplied data. Measures include trade openness,
    bilateral export and import intensity, the Herfindahl-Hirschman
    concentration index, normalized and entropy-based diversification,
    structural diversification relative to a benchmark, export similarity,
    trade complementarity, revealed comparative advantage, and intra-industry
    trade. Functions are vectorized where appropriate, validate economically
    meaningful inputs, and require no external data service. The definition of
    trade openness follows the World Bank indicator metadata
    <https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NE.TRD.GNFS.ZS>. Methodological
    background for several trade indicators is provided by the World Bank's
    World Integrated Trade Solution
    <https://wits.worldbank.org/wits/wits/witshelp/Content/Utilities/e1.trade_indicators.htm>
    and the World Trade Organization (2012, ISBN:9789287038128).
