#' Watts poverty index decomposition (EXPERIMENTAL)
#'
#' Estimate the Watts (1968) poverty measure and its components
#'
#' @param formula a formula specifying the income variable
#' @param design a design object of class \code{survey.design} or class \code{svyrep.design} from the \code{survey} library.
#' @param type_thresh type of poverty threshold. If "abs" the threshold is fixed and given the value
#' of abs_thresh; if "relq" it is given by percent times the quantile; if "relm" it is percent times the mean.
#' @param abs_thresh poverty threshold value if type_thresh is "abs"
#' @param percent the multiple of the the quantile or mean used in the poverty threshold definition
#' @param quantiles the quantile used used in the poverty threshold definition
#' @param thresh return the poverty threshold value
#' @param na.rm Should cases with missing values be dropped?
#' @param ... additional arguments. Currently not used.
#'
#'
#' @details you must run the \code{convey_prep} function on your survey design object immediately after creating it with the \code{svydesign} or \code{svrepdesign} function.
#'
#' @return Object of class "\code{cvydstat}", with estimates for the Watts index, FGT(0), Watts Poverty Gap Ratio, and Theil(poor incomes) with a "\code{var}" attribute giving the variance-covariance matrix.
#' A "\code{statistic}" attribute giving the name of the statistic.
