baselinr: What Works Clearinghouse Standards for Education Impact Evaluations

Applies the group-design determinations of the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) to education impact studies. Computes WWC effect sizes (Hedges' g with the small-sample correction, and the Cox index) and classifies baseline equivalence; classifies overall and differential attrition against the WWC attrition boundary; returns the group-design study rating; and reports the robustness of the baseline-equivalence verdict as a multiverse over the computation choices an analyst could defensibly make differently. Provides report-ready tables and Love plots.
