Wasserstein Bipolarization Index

Computation of the Wasserstein Bipolarization Index as described in Lee and Sobel (Forthcoming) . Provides both asymptotic (Sommerfeld, 2017 < https://ediss.uni-goettingen.de/bitstream/handle/11858/00-1735-0000-0023-3FA1-C/DissertationSommerfeldRev.pdf?sequence=1>) and bootstrap methods (Efron and Narasimhan, 2020 ) for calculating confidence intervals.
