In GPCERF: Gaussian Processes for Estimating Causal Exposure Response Curves

GPCERF 0.2.4 (2024-04-09)

Changed

• Dr. Boyu Ren is now the package maintainer.

GPCERF 0.2.3 (2024-03-02)

Changed

• estimate_cerf_nngp takes outcome_col, treatment_col, and covariates_col names as inputs.
• estimate_cerf_gp takes outcome_col, treatment_col, and covariates_col names as inputs.

Added

• estimate_cerf_gp and estimate_cerf_nngp have notes on selecting w.

GPCERF 0.2.2 (2024-02-16)

Changed

• n_thread -> nthread in estimate_noise_nn documentation.

GPCERF 0.2.1 (2023-01-15)

Changed

• full GP --> standard GP
• plots of exposure response function objects include covariate balance.
• formula is no longer need in nn functions.
• estimate_gps now returns the used exposure level, too.
• train_gps --> estimate_gps
• The nearest neighbor approach does not get expand as an input parameter (n_neighbor * expand --> n_neighbor).
• The weighted covariate balance now is computed using the wCorr package.

GPCERF 0.2.0 (2023-01-22)

Changed

• estimate_noise_nn now allows for parallelization with an added argument nthread for the number of CPUs used in parallel.
• estimate_mean_sd_nn now only computes the posterior variance.
• find_optimal_nn now returns the posterior mean and covariate balance for the optimal hyper-parameter values.
• Add an argument kernel_fn to all nn related functions to allow for user-defined kernel functions.
• Add an argument formula to all nn related functions to allow for user-defined design matrix.
• find_optimal_nn becomes an internal function.
• estimate_noise_gp and estimate_noise_nn become internal functions.
• estimate_mean_sd_nn becomes an internal function.
• compute_weight_gp becomes an internal function.
• compute_w_corr accepts w and confounders separately. It also normalizes w internally.
• compute_posterior_sd_nn becomes an internal function.
• compute_posterior_m_nn becomes an internal function.
• compute_derive_weights_gp becomes an internal function.
• compute_m_sigma becomes an internal function.
• compute_inverse becomes an internal function.
• In compute_m_sigma, tuning option does not have a default value.
• train_gps does not have default values.
• train_gps accepts vector of the SuperLearner package's libraries.
• train_GPS -> train_gps
