#' @title Computes group alphas 
#' and group factor scores
#' for \eqn{K} groups of observations 
#' in \code{distatis}.
#' @description \code{computePartial4Groups}:
#' Computes group alphas and group factor scores
#' for \eqn{K} groups of observations used to compute
#' the compromise (i.e., matrix **S**)
#' in a \code{distatis} analysis.
#' 
#' @param resDistatis The results of
#' a Distatis analysis (as performed by
#' the \code{DistatisR::distatis}) function.
#' @param DESIGN A Design vector describing
#' the groups of observations
#' @return A list with
#' \itemize{ 
#'  \item{"GroupFS: "}{
#'      The \eqn{K} weighted mean coordinates}
#'   \item{"groupAlpha: "}{
#'      The \eqn{K} alpha weights}
#'     }
#' @details In DISTATIS, the compromise
#' is computed as a weighted 
#' (with the alpha-coefficients) sum of the 
#' \eqn{K} pseudo-covariance matrices 
#' **S**k,  \code{computePartial4Groups}
#' sums all the alpha coefficients of a group
#' to compute each group partial factor scores.
