gfoRmula: Parametric G-Formula

Implements the parametric g-formula algorithm of Robins (1986) <doi:10.1016/0270-0255(86)90088-6>. The g-formula can be used to estimate the causal effects of hypothetical time-varying treatment interventions on the mean or risk of an outcome from longitudinal data with time-varying confounding. This package allows: 1) binary or continuous/multi-level time-varying treatments; 2) different types of outcomes (survival or continuous/binary end of follow-up); 3) data with competing events or truncation by death and loss to follow-up and other types of censoring events; 4) different options for handling competing events in the case of survival outcomes; 5) a random measurement/visit process; 6) joint interventions on multiple treatments; and 7) general incorporation of a priori knowledge of the data structure.
