DAGassist

Description

Provides robustness checks to align estimands with the identification that they require. Given a 'dagitty' object and a model specification, 'DAGassist' classifies variables by causal roles, recovers a target estimand, and generates a report comparing the original model with DAG-derived adjustment sets. Exports publication-grade reports in 'LaTeX', 'Word', 'Excel', 'dotwhisker', or plain text/'markdown'. 'DAGassist' is built on 'dagitty', an 'R' package that uses the 'DAGitty' web tool (<https://dagitty.net/>) for creating and analyzing DAGs. Methods draw on Pearl (2009) <doi:10.1017/CBO9780511803161> and Textor et al. (2016) <doi:10.1093/ije/dyw341>.
