		Tools to Cope with Endogeneity Problems // Researchers across
		disciplines often face biased regression model estimates due to
		endogenous regressors correlated with the error term.
		Traditional solutions require instrumental variables (IVs),
		which are often difficult to find and validate. This package
		provides flexible, alternative IV-free methods using copulas,
		as described in the practical guide to endogeneity correction
		using copulas (Yi Qian, Tony Koschmann, and Hui Xie 2025)
		doi:10.1177/00222429251410844. The current version implements
		the two-stage copula endogeneity correction (2sCOPE) method to
		fit models with continuous endogenous regressors and both
		continuous and discrete exogenous regressors, as described in
		Fan Yang, Yi Qian, and Hui Xie (2024)
		doi:10.1177/00222437241296453. Using this method, users can
		address regressor endogeneity problems in nonexperimental data
		without requiring IVs.
