About

Maintained by Klaus K. HolstFirst published 2020-05-0811 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Various methods for targeted and semiparametric inference including augmented inverse probability weighted (AIPW) estimators for missing data and causal inference (Bang and Robins (2005) doi:10.1111/j.1541-0420.2005.00377.x), one-step imputation (Nordland et al (2026)) doi:10.48550/arXiv.2606.07174), variable importance and conditional average treatment effects (CATE) (van der Laan (2006) doi:10.2202/1557-4679.1008), estimators for risk differences and relative risks (Richardson et al. (2017) doi:10.1080/01621459.2016.1192546), assumption lean inference for generalized linear model parameters (Vansteelandt et al. (2022) doi:10.1111/rssb.12504).

Install

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

install.packages("targeted", 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("kkholst/targeted")

Development version from kkholst/targeted. 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-targeted

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-targeted

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-targeted

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