Description

The package includes implementations of:

  • additive structural mean model: see help ivasmm
  • logistic structural mean model: see help ivlsmm
  • multiplicative structural mean model: see help ivmsmm
  • two-stage predictor substitution estimators: see ivtsps
  • two-stage residual inclusion estimators: see help ivtsri
  • moving window (a.k.a. sliding/rolling window) versions of these estimators: see help ivmw
  • performing estimation within quantiles of the first stage residuals: see help ivxtile

The ivtsps and ivtsri commands implement the following link functions for the second stage model:

  • identity (i.e. linear regression) - for a binary outcome this estimates a causal risk difference
  • logadd (log additive, i.e. Poisson/log-binomial regression) and logmult (log multiplicative, i.e. gamma regression) - for a binary outcome these estimate a causal risk ratio
  • logit (i.e. logistic regression) - for a binary outcome this estimates a causal odds ratio
