estimate_npmetric_erf

Estimate smoothed exposure-response function (ERF) for matched and weighted
data set using non-parametric models.

internal

Provides a framework for estimating causal effects of a continuous
exposure using observational data, and implementing matching and weighting
on the generalized propensity score.
