Overview

About

Maintained by Santtu TikkaFirst published 2021-06-105 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Facilitates the identification of counterfactual queries in structural causal models via the ID* and IDC* algorithms by Shpitser, I. and Pearl, J. (2007, 2008) doi:10.48550/arXiv.1206.5294, https://jmlr.org/papers/v9/shpitser08a.html. Provides a simple interface for defining causal diagrams and counterfactual conjunctions. Construction of parallel worlds graphs and counterfactual graphs is carried out automatically based on the counterfactual query and the causal diagram. See Tikka, S. (2023) doi:10.32614/RJ-2023-053 for a tutorial of the package.

Install

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

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

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

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("santikka/cfid")

Development version from santikka/cfid. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

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-cfid

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

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-cfid

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-cfid

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
