#' Designing, random assigning and evaluating Randomized Control Trials
#' 
#' RCT provides three important group of functions:
#' a) functions for pre-processing the design of the RCT 

#' b) Functions for assigning treatment status and checking for balances 

#' c) Function for evaluating the impact of the RCT

#' @name RCT
#' @details 
#' RCT helps you focus on the statistics of the randomized control trials, 
#' rather than the heavy programming lifting. 
#' RCT helps you in the whole process of designing and evaluating a RCT. 
#' 1. Clean and summarise the data in which you want to randomly assign treatment 
#' 2. Decide the share of observations that will go to control group 
#' 3. Decide which variables to use for strata building
#' 4. Robust Random Assignment by strata/blocks
#' 5 Impact evaluation of all y's and heterogeneities
#' To lean more about RCT, start with the vignette: browseVignettes(package = "RCT")
#' @section RCT functions: 
#' treatment_assign: Robust treatment assign by strata/blocks
#' 
#' impact_eval: Automatized impact evaluation with heterogeneous treatment effects
#' 
#' balance_table: Balance tables for any length of covariates
#' 
#' balance_regression: LPM of treatment status against covariates with F-test
#' 
#' tau_min: Computation of the minimum detectable effect between control & treatment units
#' 
#' tau_min_probability: Computation of the minimum detectable effect between control & treatment units for dichotomous y-vars
#' 
#' summary_statistics: Summary statistics of all numeric columns in your data
#' 
#' ntile_label: Rank and divide observations in n groups, with label
