causalOT: Optimal transport methods for causal inference
This R package implements the methods described in Optimal transport methods for causal inference.
Installation
This package can be installed in a few ways.
1. devtools
Using the remotes package in R, one can install the package with
remotes::install_github("ericdunipace/causalOT")2. download and install
After downloading the git package using git clone or by downloading the .zip file from the button above (Code -> Download Zip) and unzipping, you can install the package with
devtools::install("path/to/causalOT")3. CRAN
A stable version of this package is available on CRAN, but usually this GitHub will have the latest version.
Usage
The functions in the package are built to construct weights to make distributions more same and estimate causal effects. The primary method we recommend is by using optimal transport weights which balance distributions by design. For more information about using this package, see the vignette "Using causalOT".
