		Weighted Double Score Matching for Survey-Weighted Causal
		Inference // Implements weighted double score matching (WDSM)
		for estimating population-level causal effects from complex
		survey data. Combines propensity scores and prognostic scores
		with survey design weights for matching, survey-weighted
		imputation within match sets, and Hajek normalization to target
		the population average treatment effect (PATE) and the
		population average treatment effect on the treated (PATT).
		Supports both retrospective (treatment-dependent) and
		prospective (treatment-independent) sampling designs. Achieves
		double robustness: consistent estimation when either the
		propensity score or prognostic score model is correctly
		specified. Provides polynomial sieve bias correction and
		linearization-based multinomial bootstrap variance estimation
		that preserves the survey-weighted matching structure without
		re-matching. Methods are described in Zeng, Tong, Tong, Lu,
		Mukherjee, and Li (2026, under review) "Where to weight?
		Estimating population causal effects with weighted double score
		matching in complex surveys".
