概要	Machine learning-augmented sensitivity analysis combines flexible ML estimators with formal robustness checks to assess how much unmeasured confounding would be required to overturn a causal finding. Rooted in Chernozhukov et al.'s double/debiased ML framework and Cinelli and Hazlett's omitted-variable-bias sensitivity tools, it delivers both high-dimensional covariate adjustment and transparent communication of remaining uncertainty about unobserved confounders.	Regression Discontinuity Design is a quasi-experimental method that identifies a causal effect by locally comparing units just above and just below a cutoff on a continuous assignment (running) variable. Formalised for applied work by Imbens and Lemieux (2008) and developed as a practical framework by Cattaneo, Idrobo, and Titiunik (2020), it estimates a local average treatment effect (LATE) at the threshold.
