abstract: 'Implements Doubly Robust Matching-Adjusted Indirect Comparison (DR-MAIC)
  for population-adjusted indirect treatment comparisons in health technology appraisal
  (HTA). The package provides: (1) standard MAIC via entropy balancing / exponential
  tilting; (2) augmented/doubly robust MAIC combining inverse probability weighting
  with outcome regression; (3) comprehensive covariate balance diagnostics including
  standardised mean differences, Love plots, and effective sample size; (4) sensitivity
  analyses including E-values, weight trimming, and variable exclusion analyses; (5)
  bootstrap confidence intervals; and (6) submission-ready outputs aligned with NICE
  Decision Support Unit Technical Support Document 18, Cochrane Handbook guidance
  on indirect comparisons, and ISPOR best practice guidelines. Supports binary (risk
  difference, risk ratio, odds ratio) and time-to-event (hazard ratio) outcomes.'
