Description: Estimate penalized synthetic control models and perform
        hold-out validation to determine their penalty parameter. This
        method is based on the work by Abadie & L'Hour (2021)
        <doi:10.1080/01621459.2021.1971535>. Penalized synthetic
        controls smoothly interpolate between one-to-one matching and
        the synthetic control method.
