Doubly Robust Causal Inference with Missing Data
Authors: Keith Barnatchez and Griffin DesRoches
drcmd is an R package for implementing doubly-robust estimators of counterfactual means in the presence of general missing data patterns. drcmd leverages links between influence curves for counterfactual means under no missingness, and the influence curve corresponding to the missingness pattern in the user-supplied data. Detailed discussion of the theoretical details behind the methods used in drcmd can be found in Kennedy (2016), Tsiatis (2006), and van der Laan and Robins (2003).
Users can fit nuisance functions through Super Learner (a stacking algorithm).
