Demonstrated Insensitivity to Bias in 2x2xK Contingency Tables

Description

For an observational study with binary treatment, binary outcome and K strata, implements a d-statistic that uses those strata most insensitive to unmeasured bias in treatment assignment.<doi:10.1093/biomet/asaa032> The package has one function, dstat2x2xk.
