Variable Importance Analysis with Population Intervention Models
Description
Performs variable importance analysis using a causal inference approach. This is done by fitting Population Intervention Models. The default is to use a Targeted Maximum Likelihood Estimator (TMLE). The other available estimators are Inverse Probability of Censoring Weighted (IPCW), Double-Robust IPCW (DR-IPCW), and Graphical Computation (G-COMP) estimators. Inference can be obtained from the influence curve (plug-in) or by bootstrapping.
