abstract: 'Based on individual market shares of all participants in a market or space,
  the package offers a set of different structural and concentration measures frequently
  - and not so frequently - used in research and in practice. Measures can be calculated
  in groups or individually. The calculated measure or the resulting vector in table
  format should help practitioners make more informed decisions. Methods used in this
  package are from: 1. Chang, E. J., Guerra, S. M., de Souza Penaloza, R. A. & Tabak,
