title: 'coresynth: Fast and Unified Synthetic Control Methods'
version: 0.2.0
abstract: 'A unified ''Formula'' interface to the Synthetic Control Method (SCM) and
  related panel-data causal inference estimators: Synthetic Difference-in-Differences
  (SDID), Generalized Synthetic Control (GSC), Matrix Completion (MC), Time-Aware
  Synthetic Control (TASC), and Synthetic Interventions (SI), together with an experimental-design
  variant. Computational bottlenecks (quadratic programming, singular value decomposition,
  and Kalman filtering) are implemented in ''C++'' via ''RcppArmadillo''. Methods
  are described in Abadie, Diamond and Hainmueller (2010) <https://doi.org/10.1198/jasa.2009.ap08746>,
