  na.rm = FALSE)

`inc`	either a numeric vector giving the (equivalized disposable) income, or (if `data` is not `NULL`) a character string, an integer or a logical vector specifying the corresponding column of `data`.
`weights`	optional; either a numeric vector giving the personal sample weights, or (if `data` is not `NULL`) a character string, an integer or a logical vector specifying the corresponding column of `data`.
`years`	optional; either a numeric vector giving the different years of the survey, or (if `data` is not `NULL`) a character string, an integer or a logical vector specifying the corresponding column of `data`. If supplied, values are computed for each year.
`data`	an optional `data.frame`.
`na.rm`	a logical indicating whether missing values should be removed.
