		Multilevel Unanchored Meta-Regression for Indirect Treatment
		Comparisons // Bayesian multilevel unanchored meta-regression
		(ML-UMR) for indirect treatment comparisons using individual
		patient data (IPD) and aggregate data (AgD). Implements shared
		prognostic factor assumption (SPFA) and relaxed SPFA models for
		binary, continuous, and count outcomes via 'Stan'. Also
		provides simulated treatment comparison (STC) via parametric
		G-computation and naive unadjusted benchmarks. ML-UMR is an
		adaptation of the ML-NMR methodology (Phillippo et al. 2020,
		doi:10.1111/rssa.12579) implemented in the 'multinma' package
		(GPL-3) to the unanchored two-trial case; the public API
		deliberately mirrors multinma's so users can move between ML-
		NMR and ML-UMR with the same workflow.
