fluctuateG function

fluctuateG

fluctuateG

Function called internally by drtmle to perform the fluctuation of the initial estimator of g (i.e., solves the new estimating eqn that results from misspecification of Q)

fluctuateG(Y, A, W, DeltaY, DeltaA, a_0, gn, Qrn, tolg, coefTol = 1000)

Arguments

  • Y: The outcome
  • A: The treatment
  • W: The covariates
  • DeltaY: Indicator of missing outcome (assumed to be equal to 0 if missing 1 if observed)
  • DeltaA: Indicator of missing treatment (assumed to be equal to 0 if missing 1 if observed)
  • a_0: A list of fixed treatment values
  • gn: A list of propensity regression estimates evaluated on observed data
  • Qrn: A list of reduced-dimension regression estimates evaluated on observed data
  • tolg: The lower bound on propensity score estimates
  • coefTol: A tolerance level on the magnitude of the coefficient that flags the result as potentially the result of numeric instability.
