Provides a unified workflow for running, classifying, visualizing, and interpreting sensitivity analyses for unmeasured confounding across multiple causal frameworks. Introduces the Causal Fragility Index (CFI), a single 0-100 composite score that integrates evidence from the partial R-squared robustness value approach (Cinelli and Hazlett, 2020, doi:10.1111/rssb.12348), E-value metrics (VanderWeele and Ding, 2017, doi:10.7326/M16-2607), and the Impact Threshold for a Confounding Variable (Frank, 2000, doi:10.1177/0049124100029002001) into one interpretable measure of robustness. The package also provides template-based plain-language narrative interpretation and publication-ready reporting, with optional integration with the 'confoundvis' package for sensitivity plots.

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-causalfrag

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-causalfrag

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-causalfrag

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