Description: Three generalizations of the synthetic control method
        (which has already an implementation in package 'Synth') are
        implemented: first, 'MSCMT' allows for using multiple outcome
        variables, second, time series can be supplied as economic
        predictors, and third, a well-defined cross-validation approach
        can be used. Much effort has been taken to make the
        implementation as stable as possible (including edge cases)
        without losing computational efficiency. A detailed description
        of the main algorithms is given in Becker and Klößner (2018)
        <doi:10.1016/j.ecosta.2017.08.002>.
