In rje42/causl: Methods for Specifying, Simulating from and Fitting Causal Models

Define a causl_model object

Description

This defines a causl_model object, that can be used either for simulation or inference.

Usage

causl_model(
  formulas,
  family,
  pars,
  link,
  dat = NULL,
  method = "inversion",
  kwd = "cop",
  control = list()
)

Arguments

formulas	list of lists of formulas
family	families for variables and copula
pars	list of lists of parameters
link	list of link functions
dat	optional data frame of covariates
method	either "inversion" (the default), "inversion_mv", or "rejection"
kwd	word used for copula formula and parameters
control	list of options for the algorithm

Details

The components formulas and family must both be specified, and have matching lengths. If pars is specified, then the model can be used for simulation and inference, if not then only for inference. link is optional, and if not specified default links will be used.
