#' This packages provides functions to estimate and visualize multilevel propensity
#' score analysis.
#'
#' This package extends the principles put forth by the \code{PSAgraphics}
#' (Helmreich, Pruzek, & Xiong, 2010) for multilevel, or clustered, data.
#'
#' Propensity score analyses are typically done in two phases. In phase I, a
#' statistical model predicting treatment using the available individual covariates
#' is estimated. This package currently currently provides functions to perform
#' propensity score estimates using logistic regression (see \code{\link{mlpsa.logistic}})
#' and conditional inference trees (see \code{\link{mlpsa.ctree}}). The latter method
#' provides explicit stratifications as defined by each leaf node. The former however,
#' results in a numerical value ranging from zero to one (i.e. the fitted values).
#' A common approach is to then create stratifications using quintiles. However,
#' other approaches such as Loess regression are also provided.
#'
#' Phase II of typical propensity score analyses concerns with the comparison of an
#' outcome between the treatment and comparison groups. The \code{\link{mlpsa}}
#' method will perform this analysis in a multilevel, or clustered, fashion. That
#' is, the results of the \code{\link{mlpsa}} procedure produce summary results
#' at level one (i.e. each strata within each cluster), level two (i.e. overall results
#' for each cluster), and overall (i.e. overall results across all clusters).
#'
#' This package also provides a number of visualizations that provide a critical
#' part in presenting, understanding, and interpreting the results. See
#' \code{\link{plot.mlpsa}} for details.
