#' @title R6 Bootstrap Resampling for Coefficient of Quartile Variation
#' @name BootCoefQuartVar
#' @description The R6 class \code{BootCoefQuartVar} produces the bootstrap
#'              resamplimg for the coeficient of quartile variation (cqv) of the
#'              given numeric vectors. It uses \link[boot]{boot} from the
#'              package \pkg{boot}. Also, it produces the bootstrap confidence
#'              intervals for the cqv based on the \link[boot]{boot.ci} from the
#'              package \pkg{boot}.
#' @param x An \code{R} object. Currently there are methods for numeric vectors
#' @param na.rm a logical value indicating whether \code{NA} values should be
#'              stripped before the computation proceeds.
#' @param alpha The allowed type I error probability
#' @param R integer indicating the number of bootstrap replicates.
