		Bayesian Synthetic Control Models // Implements the synthetic
		control method of Abadie, Diamond, and Hainmueller (2010)
		doi:10.1198/jasa.2009.ap08746 within a Bayesian framework,
		enabling straightforward uncertainty quantification of
		treatment effects and other quantities of interest. Supports
		time-varying covariates with potentially time-varying effects,
		single or multiple treated units, and staggered treatment
		adoption. Provides methods for model assessment, comparison,
		and selection based on placebo studies, cross-validation, and
		posterior predictive checks. Posterior sampling is performed
		using Markov chain Monte Carlo via Stan.
