//! Linear, partial-linear, and nonparametric confounding sensitivity analysis.
//!
//! [`LinearSensitivity`] and [`PartialLinearSensitivity`] simulate a confounder `U` with a
//! configurable *partial R²* on treatment and outcome under a linear (Gaussian) or
//! partial-linear (bounded) shape. [`NonparametricSensitivity`] first residualizes treatment
//! and outcome on adjustment covariates with Nadaraya–Watson kernel regression, then runs the
//! same partial-R² grid on the residualized series — a production nonparametric path distinct
//! from the partial-linear shape stand-in.
