Description: 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
