Description: Density discontinuity testing (a.k.a. manipulation
        testing) is commonly employed in regression discontinuity
        designs and other program evaluation settings to detect perfect
        self-selection (manipulation) around a cutoff where
        treatment/policy assignment changes. This package implements
        manipulation testing procedures using local polynomial density
        estimators: rddensity() constructs test statistics and p-values
        given a prespecified cutoff, rdbwdensity() performs data-driven
        bandwidth selection, and rdplotdensity() constructs density
        plots.
