Cross-validated Evaluation of Efficient Influence Function Components

1 2	cv_eif(fold, data, delta, g_learners, e_learners, m_learners, phi_learners, w_names, z_names)

`fold`	Object specifying cross-validation folds as generated by a call to `origami::make_folds`.
`data`	A `data.table` containing the observed data, with columns in the order specified by the NPSEM (Y, Z, A, W), with column names set appropriately based on the original input data. Such a structure is merely a convenience utility to passing data around to the various core estimation routines and is automatically generated by `medshift`.
`delta`	A `numeric` value indicating the degree of shift in the intervention to be used in defining the causal quantity of interest. In the case of binary interventions, this takes the form of an incremental propensity score shift, acting as a multiplier of the odds with which a given observational unit receives the intervention (EH Kennedy, 2018, JASA; doi:10.1080/01621459.2017.1422737).
`g_learners`	A `Stack` (or other learner class that inherits from `Lrnr_base`), containing a single or set of instantiated learners from sl3, to be used in fitting the propensity score, i.e., g = P(A \| W).
`e_learners`	A `Stack` (or other learner class that inherits from `Lrnr_base`), containing a single or set of instantiated learners from sl3, to be used in fitting a propensity score that conditions on the mediators, i.e., e = P(A \| Z, W).
`m_learners`	A `Stack` (or other learner class that inherits from `Lrnr_base`), containing a single or set of instantiated learners from sl3, to be used in fitting the outcome regression, i.e., m(A, Z, W).
`phi_learners`	A `Stack` (or other learner class that inherits from `Lrnr_base`), containing a single or set of instantiated learners from sl3, to be used in a regression of a pseudo-outcome on the baseline covariates, i.e., phi(W) = E[m(A = 1, Z, W) - m(A = 0, Z, W) \| W).
`w_names`	A `character` vector of the names of the columns that correspond to baseline covariates (W). The input for this argument is automatically generated by a call to the wrapper function `medshift`.
`z_names`	A `character` vector of the names of the columns that correspond to mediators (Z). The input for this argument is automatically generated by a call to the wrapper function `medshift`.
