Overview

About

Maintained by Subir HaitFirst published 2026-03-301 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides visualization tools for sensitivity analysis to unmeasured confounding in observational studies. Includes contour-based sensitivity plots, robustness curves, and benchmark-oriented graphics that help researchers assess how strong omitted confounding would need to be to attenuate, invalidate, or reverse estimated effects. Supports regression-based sensitivity analysis frameworks, including impact threshold approaches (Frank, 2000, doi:10.1177/0049124100029002001), partial R-squared methods (Cinelli and Hazlett, 2020, doi:10.1111/rssb.12348), and E-value style metrics (VanderWeele and Ding, 2017, doi:10.7326/M16-2607). Emphasizes clear, interpretable, and publication-ready graphical summaries for transparent reporting of causal sensitivity analyses across the social, behavioral, health, and educational sciences.

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-confoundvis

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-confoundvis

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