Description: Implements the Stable Balancing Weights by Zubizarreta
        (2015) <DOI:10.1080/01621459.2015.1023805>. These are the
        weights of minimum variance that approximately balance the
        empirical distribution of the observed covariates. For an
        overview, see Chattopadhyay, Hase and Zubizarreta (2020)
        <DOI:10.1002/sim.8659>. To solve the optimization problem in
        'sbw', the default solver is 'quadprog', which is readily
        available through CRAN. The solver 'osqp' is also posted on
        CRAN. To enhance the performance of 'sbw', users are encouraged
        to install other solvers such as 'gurobi' and 'Rmosek', which
        require special installation. For the installation of gurobi
        and pogs, please follow the instructions at
        <https://docs.gurobi.com/projects/optimizer/en/current/reference/r.html>
        and <http://foges.github.io/pogs/stp/r>.
