Description: Computes experimental designs for two-arm experiments with
        covariates using multiple methods, including: (0) complete
        randomization and randomization with forced-balance; (1) greedy
        optimization of a balance objective function via pairwise
        switching; (2) numerical optimization via 'gurobi'; (3)
        rerandomization; (4) Karp's method for one covariate; (5)
        exhaustive enumeration for small sample sizes; (6) binary pair
        matching using 'nbpMatching'; (7) binary pair matching plus
        method (1) to further optimize balance; (8) binary pair
        matching plus method (3) to further optimize balance; (9)
        Hadamard designs; and (10) simultaneous multiple kernels. For
        the greedy, rerandomization, and related methods, three
        objective functions are supported: Mahalanobis distance,
        standardized sums of absolute differences, and kernel distances
        via the 'kernlab' library. This package is the result of a
        stream of research that can be found in Krieger, A. M., Azriel,
