Description: In the generalized Roy model, the marginal treatment
        effect (MTE) can be used as a building block for constructing
        conventional causal parameters such as the average treatment
        effect (ATE) and the average treatment effect on the treated
        (ATT). Given a treatment selection equation and an outcome
        equation, the function mte() estimates the MTE via the
        semiparametric local instrumental variables method or the
        normal selection model. The function mte_at() evaluates MTE at
        different values of the latent resistance u with a given X = x,
        and the function mte_tilde_at() evaluates MTE projected onto
        the estimated propensity score. The function ace() estimates
        population-level average causal effects such as ATE, ATT, or
        the marginal policy relevant treatment effect.
