SCtools: Extensions for Synthetic Controls Analysis

Extends the functionality of the package 'Synth' as detailed in Abadie, Diamond, and Hainmueller (2011) <doi:10.18637/jss.v042.i13>. Includes generating and plotting placebos, post/pre-MSPE (Mean Squared Prediction Error) significance tests and plots, and calculating average treatment effects for multiple treated units.
