An R package for parametric estimation of causal effects
This article explains the usage of R package CausalModels, which is publicly available on the Comprehensive R Archive Network. While packages are available for sufficiently estimating causal effects, there lacks a package that provides a collection of structural models using the conventional statistical approach developed by Hernan and Robins (2020). CausalModels addresses this deficiency of software in R concerning causal inference by offering tools for methods that account for biases in observational data without requiring extensive statistical knowledge. These methods should not be ignored and may be more appropriate or efficient in solving particular problems. While implementations of these statistical models are distributed among a number of causal packages, CausalModels introduces a simple and accessible framework for a consistent modeling pipeline among a variety of statistical methods for estimating causal effects in a single R package. It consists of common methods including standardization, IP weighting, G-estimation, outcome regression, instrumental variables and propensity matching.

A framework for causal segmentation analysis with machine learning in large-scale digital experiments
We present an end-to-end methodological framework for causal segment discovery that aims to uncover differential impacts of treatments across subgroups of users in large-scale digital experiments. Building on recent deve…
Causal InferenceA Practical Introduction to Bayesian Estimation of Causal Effects: Parametric and Nonparametric Approaches
Substantial advances in Bayesian methods for causal inference have been developed in recent years. We provide an introduction to Bayesian inference for causal effects for practicing statisticians who have some familiarit…

Unmeasured confounding can render identification strategies based on adjustment functionals invalid. We study the "Napkin" graph, a causal structure that encapsulates features of M-bias, instrumental variables, and class…
Causal InferenceAverage Causal Effect Estimation in DAGs with Hidden Variables: Extensions of Back-Door and Front-Door Criteria
The identification theory for causal effects in directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) with hidden variables is well-developed, but methods for estimating and inferring functionals beyond the g-formula remain limited. Previous s…
