Overview

About

Maintained by Jungang ZouCRAN page ↗

Provides a suite of Propensity Score Predictive Inference (PSPI) methods to generalize treatment effects in trials to target populations. The package includes an existing model Bayesian Causal Forest (BCF) and four PSPI models (BCF-PS, FullBART, SplineBART, DSplineBART). These methods leverage Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART) to adjust for high-dimensional covariates and nonlinear associations, while SplineBART and DSplineBART further use propensity score based splines to address covariate shift between trial data and target population.

Changes in 1.4

Add support for persistent model fitting (PSPI_fit(), PSPI_predict()).
SplineBART and DSplineBART now resolve the BART/spline non-identifiability by dropping the spline intercept instead of centering BART; the previous centered implementations are removed.
"DSplineBART" is accepted as a model name; "MSplineBART" remains an alias.
sim_trans() and sim_generalizability(): participation model of the nonlinear scenario updated.
Title updated to cover transportability.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("PSPI", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-pspi

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-PSPI

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-PSPI

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
