Package: DirectEffects 0.3

DirectEffects: Estimating Controlled Direct Effects for Explaining Causal Findings

A set of functions to estimate the controlled direct effect of treatment fixing a potential mediator to a specific value. Implements the sequential g-estimation estimator described in Vansteelandt (2009) <doi:10.1097/EDE.0b013e3181b6f4c9> and Acharya, Blackwell, and Sen (2016) <doi:10.1017/S0003055416000216> and the telescope matching estimator described in Blackwell and Strezhnev (2020) <doi:10.1111/rssa.12759>.
