This function will estimate propensity scores using the conditional inference
framework as outlined in the party package. Specifically, a separate
tree will be estimated for each level 2 (or cluster). A key advantage of this
framework over other methods for estimating propensity scores is that this
method will work on data sets containing missing values.
