Overview

About

Maintained by Maarten Jacob BijlsmaFirst published 2020-03-184 releasesCRAN page ↗

Provides a set of functions for counterfactual decomposition (cfdecomp). The functions available in this package decompose differences in an outcome attributable to a mediating variable (or sets of mediating variables) between groups based on counterfactual (causal inference) theory. By using Monte Carlo (MC) integration (simulations based on empirical estimates from multivariable models) we provide added flexibility compared to existing (analytical) approaches, at the cost of computational power or time. The added flexibility means that we can decompose difference between groups in any outcome or and with any mediator (any variable type and distribution). See Sudharsanan & Bijlsma (2019) doi:10.4054/MPIDR-WP-2019-004 for more information.

Install

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

install.packages("cfdecomp", 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-cfdecomp

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

# 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-cfdecomp

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