#' Calculate model averaged double robust estimate
#'
#' This function estimates a model averaged double robust estimate.
#'
#' @param Y vector of the outcome
#' @param X vector of the treatment (0/1)
#' @param U matrix of covariates to be considered for inclusion/exclusion
#' @param W matrix of covariates that will be included in all models (optional)
#' @param M the number of MCMC iteration
#' @param cut cumulative probability of models to be retained for improved computational efficiency (1 retains all visited models)
#' @param enumerate indicator if all possible models should be enumerated (default: FALSE)
#' @param tau scalar value for the prior model dependence (1 is an independent prior; defaults to 0)
#' @param two.stage indicator if the two-stage procedure for calculating the model weights should be used (defaults to TRUE)

#'	\item{weight.ps}{a vector that contains the inclusion probability of each covariate in the propensity score model}
#'	\item{weight.om}{a vector that contains the inclusion probability of each covariate in the outcome model}
