pensynth: Penalized Synthetic Control Estimation
Estimate penalized synthetic control models and perform hold-out validation to determine their penalty parameter. This method is based on the work by Abadie & L'Hour (2021) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2021.1971535>. Penalized synthetic controls smoothly interpolate between one-to-one matching and the synthetic control method.
