Description: Estimation of the generalized beta distribution of the
        second kind (GB2) and related models using grouped data in form
        of income shares. The GB2 family is a general class of
        distributions that provides an accurate fit to income data.
        'GB2group' includes functions to estimate the GB2, the
        Singh-Maddala, the Dagum, the Beta 2, the Lognormal and the
        Fisk distributions. 'GB2group' deploys two different
        econometric strategies to estimate these parametric
        distributions, the equally weighted minimum distance (EWMD)
        estimator and the optimally weighted minimum distance (OMD)
        estimator. Asymptotic standard errors are reported for the OMD
        estimates. Standard errors of the EWMD estimates are obtained
        by Monte Carlo simulation. See Jorda et al. (2018)
        <arXiv:1808.09831> for a detailed description of the estimation
        procedure.
