Description: While data from randomized experiments remain the gold
        standard for causal inference, estimation of causal estimands
        from observational data is possible through various confounding
        adjustment methods. However, the challenge of unmeasured
        confounding remains a concern in causal inference, where
        failure to account for unmeasured confounders can lead to
        biased estimates of causal estimands. Sensitivity analysis
        within the framework of causal inference can help adjust for
        possible unmeasured confounding. In `causens`, three main
        methods are implemented: adjustment via sensitivity functions
        (Brumback, Hernán, Haneuse, and Robins (2004)
        <doi:10.1002/sim.1657> and Li, Shen, Wu, and Li (2011)
        <doi:10.1093/aje/kwr096>), Bayesian parametric modelling and
        Monte Carlo approaches (McCandless, Lawrence C and Gustafson,
        Paul (2017) <doi:10.1002/sim.7298>).
