tmlecte R Package
This tmlecte R package estimates the statistical parameter E(E(Y|A=1,B)-E(Y|A=0,B)|A=a) using targeted maximum likelihood estimation (TMLE). If A is a treatment, then this is sort of like a Treatment Effect, Conditional on one of the treatments, hence the name tmlecte. Under various causal models, this statistical parameter has interpretations of things like
- the affect of treatment among the treated (ATT)
- the natural direct effect (NDE), and
- the natural direct effect among the untreated.
The methods in this package will probably be added to the tmle package on CRAN in the future.
