Description: Instrumental variables (IVs) are a popular and powerful
        tool for estimating causal effects in the presence of
        unobserved confounding. However, classical methods rely on
        strong assumptions such as the exclusion criterion, which
        states that instrumental effects must be entirely mediated by
        treatments. In the so-called "leaky" IV setting, candidate
        instruments are allowed to have some direct influence on
        outcomes, rendering the average treatment effect (ATE)
        unidentifiable. But with limits on the amount of information
        leakage, we may still recover sharp bounds on the ATE,
        providing partial identification. This package implements
        methods for ATE bounding in the leaky IV setting with linear
        structural equations. For details, see Watson et al. (2024)
        <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2404.04446>.
