Description: Implementation of the nonparametric bounds for the average
        causal effect under an instrumental variable model by Balke and
        Pearl (Bounds on Treatment Effects from Studies with Imperfect
        Compliance, JASA, 1997, 92, 439, 1171-1176,
        <doi:10.1080/01621459.1997.10474074>). The package can
        calculate bounds for a binary outcome, a binary
        treatment/phenotype, and an instrument with either 2 or 3
        categories. The package implements bounds for situations where
        these 3 variables are measured in the same dataset (trivariate
        data) or where the outcome and instrument are measured in one
        study and the treatment/phenotype and instrument are measured
        in another study (bivariate data).
