disparities

This function lets you easily compute differences in conditional expectations
between all pairs of specified racial groups.

Bayesian models for accurately estimating conditional
distributions by race, using Bayesian Improved Surname Geocoding (BISG)
probability estimates of individual race. Implements the methods described
in McCartan, Fisher, Goldin, Ho and Imai (2025) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2025.2526695>.

<dl><dt>x</dt>
<dd>A <code>birdie</code> model object.</dd>
<dt>subgroup</dt>
<dd>If <code>TRUE</code>, return subgroup-level (rather than marginal)
