Conducts sensitivity analyses for unmeasured confounding, selection bias, and measurement error (individually or in combination; VanderWeele & Ding (2017) doi:10.7326/M16-2607; Smith & VanderWeele (2019) doi:10.1097/EDE.0000000000001032; VanderWeele & Li (2019) doi:10.1093/aje/kwz133; Smith, Mathur, & VanderWeele (2021) doi:10.1097/EDE.0000000000001380). Also conducts sensitivity analyses for unmeasured confounding in meta-analyses (Mathur & VanderWeele (2020a) doi:10.1080/01621459.2018.1529598; Mathur & VanderWeele (2020b) doi:10.1097/EDE.0000000000001180) and for additive measures of effect modification (Mathur et al., doi:10.1093/ije/dyac073).

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("EValue", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-evalue

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-EValue

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-EValue

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
