Description: Monte Carlo simulation framework for different randomized clinical
    trial designs with a special emphasis on estimators based on covariate
    adjustment. The package implements regression-based covariate adjustment
    (Rosenblum & van der Laan (2010) <doi:10.2202/1557-4679.1138>) and a
    one-step estimator (Van Lancker et al (2024)
    <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2404.11150>) for trials with continuous, binary and
    count outcomes. The estimation of the minimum sample-size required to reach
    a specified statistical power for a given estimator uses bisection to find
    an initial rough estimate, followed by stochastic approximation
    (Robbins-Monro (1951) <doi:10.1214/aoms/1177729586>) to improve the
    estimate, and finally, a grid search to refine the estimate in the
    neighborhood of the current best solution.
