Description: Provides tools for conducting sensitivity analysis for
        causal mediation effects when the exposure or mediator is
        measured with differential misclassification (e.g., recall
        bias, outcome-dependent measurement error). Unlike existing
        measurement error correction methods that assume
        non-differential error or require validation data, 'medrobust'
        derives partial identification bounds that remain valid without
        gold-standard measurements. The package implements methods
        developed in Tofighi (2025) for partial identification bounds
        for Natural Direct Effects (NDE) and Natural Indirect Effects
        (NIE), data-driven falsification via testable implications,
        sensitivity analysis over user-specified ranges of
        misclassification parameters, diagnostic tools and
        publication-quality visualizations, bootstrap inference for
        confidence intervals via percentile and bias-corrected and
        accelerated (BCa) methods, and synthetic data generation for
        power analysis and methods research. The package handles both
        mediator misclassification and exposure misclassification
        within a unified framework. The partial identification approach
        builds on Manski (2003, ISBN:978-0387004549); confidence
        intervals for the partially identified bounds use the
        construction of Imbens and Manski (2004)
