lava - Latent Variable Models

A general implementation of Structural Equation Models with latent variables (MLE, 2SLS, and composite likelihood estimators) with both continuous, censored, and ordinal outcomes (Holst and Budtz-Joergensen (2013) <doi:10.1007/s00180-012-0344-y>). Mixture latent variable models and non-linear latent variable models (Holst and Budtz-Joergensen (2020) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxy082>). The package also provides methods for graph exploration (d-separation, back-door criterion), simulation of general non-linear latent variable models, and estimation of influence functions for a broad range of statistical models.

targeted - Targeted Inference

Various methods for targeted and semiparametric inference including augmented inverse probability weighted (AIPW) estimators for missing data and causal inference (Bang and Robins (2005) <doi:10.1111/j.1541-0420.2005.00377.x>), variable importance and conditional average treatment effects (CATE) (van der Laan (2006) <doi:10.2202/1557-4679.1008>), estimators for risk differences and relative risks (Richardson et al. (2017) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2016.1192546>), assumption lean inference for generalized linear model parameters (Vansteelandt et al. (2022) <doi:10.1111/rssb.12504>).
