Arguments

missingness_design: Respondent-side missingness model design matrix (intercept + predictors).
aux_matrix: Auxiliary design matrix on respondents (may have zero columns).
aux_means: Named numeric vector of auxiliary population means (aligned to columns of aux_matrix).
respondent_weights: Numeric vector of respondent weights aligned with missingness_design rows.
analysis_data: Data object used for logging and variance.
outcome_expr: Character string identifying the outcome expression displayed in outputs.
N_pop: Population size on the analysis scale.
formula: Original model formula used for estimation.
standardize: Logical. Whether to standardize predictors during estimation.
trim_cap: Numeric. Upper bound for empirical likelihood weight trimming.
control: List of control parameters for the nonlinear equation solver.
on_failure: Character. Action when solver fails.
family: List. Link function specification.
variance_method: Character. Variance estimation method.
bootstrap_reps: Integer. Number of bootstrap replications.
auxiliary_means: Named numeric vector of known population means supplied by the user.
