About

Robustness checks for omitted variable bias. The package includes robustness checks proposed by Oster (2019). The 'robomit' package computes i) the bias-adjusted treatment correlation or effect and ii) the degree of selection on unobservables relative to observables (with respect to the treatment variable) that would be necessary to eliminate the result based on the framework by Oster (2019). The code is based on the 'psacalc' command in 'Stata'. Additionally, 'robomit' offers a set of sensitivity analysis and visualization functions. See Oster, E. 2019. doi:10.1080/07350015.2016.1227711. Additionally, see Diegert, P., Masten, M. A., & Poirier, A. (2022) for a recent discussion of the topic: doi:10.48550/arXiv.2206.02303.

Install

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

install.packages("robomit", 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-robomit

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-robomit

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-robomit

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