Description: Most price indexes are made with a two-step procedure,
        where period-over-period elementary indexes are first
        calculated for a collection of elementary aggregates at each
        point in time, and then aggregated according to a price index
        aggregation structure. These indexes can then be chained
        together to form a time series that gives the evolution of
        prices with respect to a fixed base period. This package
        contains a collection of functions that revolve around this
        work flow, making it easy to build standard price indexes, and
        implement the methods described by Balk (2008,
        <doi:10.1017/CBO9780511720758>), von der Lippe (2007,
        <doi:10.3726/978-3-653-01120-3>), and the CPI manual (2020,
        <doi:10.5089/9781484354841.069>) and PPI manual (2004,
        <doi:10.5089/9781589063044.069>) for bilateral price indexes.
