BACprior - Choice of Omega in the BAC Algorithm

The Bayesian Adjustment for Confounding (BAC) algorithm (Wang et al., 2012) can be used to estimate the causal effect of a continuous exposure on a continuous outcome. This package provides an approximate sensitivity analysis of BAC with regards to the hyperparameter omega. BACprior also provides functions to guide the user in their choice of an appropriate omega value. The method is based on Lefebvre, Atherton and Talbot (2014).

InferenceSMR - Inference About the Standardized Mortality Ratio when Evaluating the Effect of a Screening Program on Survival

Functions to make inference about the standardized mortality ratio (SMR) when evaluating the effect of a screening program. The package is based on methods described in Sasieni (2003) <doi: 10.1097/00001648-200301000-00026> and Talbot et al. (2011) <doi: 10.1002/sim.4334>.

BCEE - The Bayesian Causal Effect Estimation Algorithm

A Bayesian model averaging approach to causal effect estimation based on the BCEE algorithm. Currently supports binary or continuous exposures and outcomes. For more details, see Talbot et al. (2015) <doi:10.1515/jci-2014-0035> Talbot and Beaudoin (2022) <doi:10.1515/jci-2021-0023>.
