Description: Provides functions and command-line user interface to
        generate allocation sequence by covariate-adaptive
        randomization for clinical trials. The package currently
        supports six covariate-adaptive randomization procedures. Three
        hypothesis testing methods that are valid and robust under
        covariate-adaptive randomization are also available in the
        package to facilitate the inference for treatment effect under
        the included randomization procedures. Additionally, the
        package provides comprehensive and efficient tools to allow one
        to evaluate and compare the performance of randomization
        procedures and tests based on various criteria. See Ma W, Ye X,
        Tu F, and Hu F (2023) <doi: 10.18637/jss.v107.i02> for details.
