		Nonlinear Causal Dose-Response Estimation via Splines //
		Estimates nonlinear causal dose-response functions for
		continuous treatments using spline-based methods under standard
		causal assumptions (unconfoundedness / ignorability).
		Implements three identification strategies: Inverse Probability
		Weighting (IPW) via the generalised propensity score (GPS),
		G-computation (outcome regression), and a doubly-robust
		combination. Natural cubic splines and B-splines are supported
		for both the exposure-response curve f(T) and the propensity
		nuisance model. Pointwise confidence bands are obtained via the
		sandwich estimator or nonparametric bootstrap. Also provides
		fragility diagnostics including pointwise curvature-based
		fragility, uncertainty-normalised fragility, and regional
		integration over user-defined treatment intervals. Builds on
		the framework of Hirano and Imbens (2004)
		doi:10.1111/j.1468-0262.2004.00481.x for continuous treatments
		and extends it to fully nonparametric spline estimation.
