  <dc:title>Causal Inference Methods for Multilevel and Clustered Data</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package MLCausal version 0.1.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Provides an end-to-end workflow for estimating average
    treatment effects in clustered (multilevel) observational data.
    Core functionality includes cluster-aware propensity score estimation
    using fixed effects and Mundlak-style specifications, inverse
    probability weighting, within-cluster nearest-neighbor matching,
    covariate balance diagnostics at both individual and cluster-mean
    levels, outcome regression with cluster-robust standard errors,
    propensity score overlap visualization, and tipping-point sensitivity
    analysis for omitted cluster-level confounding.</dc:description>
