A small package for calculating lots of different price indexes, and by extension quantity indexes. Provides tools to build and work with any type of bilateral generalized-mean index (of which most price indexes are), along with a few important indexes that don't belong to the generalized-mean family (e.g., superlative quadratic-mean indexes, GEKS). Implements and extends many of the methods in Balk (2008, ISBN:978-1-107-40496-0) and the CPI manual (2020, ISBN:978-1-51354-298-0) for bilateral price indexes.

Collection of datasets as prepared by Profs. A.P. Gore, S.A. Paranjape, and M.B. Kulkarni of Department of Statistics, Poona University, India. With their permission, first letter of their names forms the name of this package, the package has been built by me and made available for the benefit of R users. This collection requires a rich class of models and can be a very useful building block for a beginner.
