estBootCIs

Part of the set of internal functions for estimating bootstrapped confidence intervals 
for continuous outcome and two treatment groups when user argument <code>CI="boot"</code>.

Provides functions for estimating mediation effects that vary over
time as described in Cai X, Coffman DL, Piper ME, Li R.
Estimation and inference for the mediation effect in a time-varying mediation model.
