Description: A collection of functions to compute the Rao-Stirling diversity index
	(Porter and Rafols, 2009) <DOI:10.1007/s11192-008-2197-2> and its extension to
	acknowledge missing data (i.e.,	uncategorized references) by calculating its
	interval of uncertainty using	mathematical optimization as proposed in Calatrava
	et al. (2016) <DOI:10.1007/s11192-016-1842-4>.
	The Rao-Stirling diversity index is a well-established bibliometric indicator
	to measure the interdisciplinarity of scientific publications. Apart from the
	obligatory dataset of publications with their respective references and	a
	taxonomy of disciplines that categorizes references as well as a measure of
	similarity between the disciplines, the Rao-Stirling diversity index requires
	a complete categorization of all references of a publication into disciplines.
	Thus, it fails for a incomplete categorization; in this case, the robust
	extension has to be used, which encodes the uncertainty caused by missing
	bibliographic data as an uncertainty interval.
	Classification / ACM - 2012: Information systems ~ Similarity measures,
	Theory of computation ~ Quadratic	programming, Applied computing ~ Digital
	libraries and archives.
