(RIF) regression framework for unconditional expectiles, and
embeds it in a two-sample Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition indexed
continuously by the expectile level. Unlike quantile-based RIF
decompositions, which require estimating an inverse density
term at each quantile, the expectile RIF depends only on
primitive moments of the outcome distribution and requires no
density estimation, no bandwidth selection, and no kernel
smoothing. The package provides expectile estimation by
iteratively reweighted least squares, closed-form RIF
construction, two-sample composition/structure decomposition
across a grid of expectile levels, bootstrap-based inference,
and plotting methods. The underlying methodology is described
in Ndoye (2025), &quot;Semi-Nonparametric Expectile RIF Regression
for Distributional Decomposition,&quot; presented at the 2025 World
Congress of the Econometric Society, Seoul, Korea,
