+    Two-Way Fixed Effects (TWFE) estimator for panel DiD.
+
+    Extends DifferenceInDifferences to handle panel data with unit
+    and time fixed effects.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    robust : bool, default=True
+        Whether to use heteroskedasticity-robust standard errors.
+    cluster : str, optional
+        Column name for cluster-robust standard errors.
+        If None, automatically clusters at the unit level (the `unit`
+        parameter passed to `fit()`). This differs from
+        DifferenceInDifferences where cluster=None means no clustering.
+    alpha : float, default=0.05
+        Significance level for confidence intervals.
+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    This estimator uses the regression:
+
+        Y_it = α_i + γ_t + β*(D_i × Post_t) + X_it'δ + ε_it
+
+    where α_i are unit fixed effects and γ_t are time fixed effects.
+
+    Warning: TWFE can be biased with staggered treatment timing
+    and heterogeneous treatment effects. Consider using
+    more robust estimators (e.g., Callaway-Sant'Anna) for
+    staggered designs.

+
+        Notes
+        -----
+        This decomposition is essential for understanding potential TWFE bias
+        in staggered adoption designs. The three comparison types are:
+
+        1. **Treated vs Never-treated**: Clean comparisons using never-treated
+           units as controls. These are always valid.
+
+        2. **Earlier vs Later treated**: Uses later-treated units as controls
+           before they receive treatment. These are valid.
+
+        3. **Later vs Earlier treated**: Uses already-treated units as controls.
+           These "forbidden comparisons" can introduce bias when treatment
+           effects are dynamic (changing over time since treatment).
