MLCausal: Causal Inference Methods for Multilevel and Clustered Data

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.
