Description: Provides pointwise and uniform estimation and inference methods for boundary discontinuity (BD) designs,
    a causal inference design that generalizes univariate regression discontinuity (RD) designs to settings with bivariate scores.
    Implements local polynomial methods for location-based and distance-based analyses, including sharp and fuzzy designs,
    data-driven bandwidth selection, pointwise confidence intervals, and uniform confidence bands. Methodology is developed in
    Cattaneo, Titiunik, and Yu (2026) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2505.05670> for location-based methods and
    Cattaneo, Titiunik, and Yu (2026) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2510.26051> for distance-based methods.
    For an overview and empirical guidance, see Cattaneo, Titiunik, and Yu (2026) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2511.06474>.
