Description: Implements novel nonparametric approaches to address
        biases and confounding when comparing treatments or exposures
        in observational studies of outcomes. While designed and
        appropriate for use in studies involving medicine and the life
        sciences, the package can be used in other situations involving
        outcomes with multiple confounders. The package implements a
        family of methods for non-parametric bias correction when
        comparing treatments in observational studies, including
        survival analysis settings, where competing risks and/or
        censoring may be present. The approach extends to
        bias-corrected personalized predictions of treatment outcome
        differences, and analysis of heterogeneity of treatment
        effect-sizes across patient subgroups. For further details,
