In MIRDD: Diagnostic Tool by Multiple Imputation for Regression Discontinuity Designs

#' MIRDD: Diagnostic Tool by Multiple Imputation for Regression Discontinuity Designs
#'
#' @description
#' This package implements the method proposed in Takahashi (2023), which provides
#' a novel framework for the regression discontinuity design (RDD) by reinterpreting
#' the estimation of treatment effects as a missing data problem. While standard RDD
#' relies on observations near the cutoff, MIRDD utilizes multiple imputation to
#' account for missing potential outcomes, offering a diagnostic tool to assess
#' the validity and robustness of RDD estimates.
#'
#' @details
#' The main function in this package is \code{\link{MIdiagRDD}}.
