Doubly Robust Generalized Estimating Equations
Description
The package provides functions to estimate parameters quantifying
an association between an exposure and an outcome in a generalized
estimating equations model in the presence of nuisance variables. Three methods are implemented:
outcome nuisance model based estimation where a model for the association
between the nuisance factors and the outcome is assumed, exposure nuisance model
based estimation where a model for the association between the nuisance factors
and the exposure is assumed and doubly robust estimation where both models are
used. In doubly robust estimation, the estimates will be consistent when
at least one of the models are correctly specified, not necessarily both.
