Instrumental variables (IVs) are a popular and powerful tool for estimating causal effects in the presence of unobserved confounding. However, classical methods rely on strong assumptions such as the exclusion criterion, which states that instrumental effects must be entirely mediated by treatments. In the so-called "leaky" IV setting, candidate instruments are allowed to have some direct influence on outcomes, rendering the average treatment effect (ATE) unidentifiable. But with limits on the amount of information leakage, we may still recover sharp bounds on the ATE, providing partial identification. This package implements methods for ATE bounding in the leaky IV setting with linear structural equations. For details, see Watson et al. (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2404.04446>.

This package provides tools to decompose differences in cohort health expectancy (HE) by age and cause using longitudinal data. The package implements a novel longitudinal attribution method based on a semiparametric additive hazards model with time-dependent covariates, specifically designed to address interval censoring and semi-competing risks via a copula framework. The resulting age-cause-specific contributions to disability prevalence and death probability can be used to quantify and decompose differences in cohort HE between groups. The package supports stepwise replacement decomposition algorithms and is applicable to cohort-based health disparity research across diverse populations. Related methods include Sun et al. (2023) <doi:10.1177/09622802221133552>.

Miscellaneous functions commonly used by LuLab. This package aims to help more researchers on epidemiology to perform data management and visualization more efficiently.

Random forests are a statistical learning method widely used in many areas of scientific research essentially for its ability to learn complex relationships between input and output variables and also its capacity to handle high-dimensional data. However, current random forests approaches are not flexible enough to handle longitudinal data. In this package, we propose a general approach of random forests for high-dimensional longitudinal data. It includes a flexible stochastic model which allows the covariance structure to vary over time. Furthermore, we introduce a new method which takes intra-individual covariance into consideration to build random forests. The method is fully detailled in Capitaine et.al. (2020) <doi:10.1177/0962280220946080> Random forests for high-dimensional longitudinal data.

Shiny apps for the quantitative analysis of images from lateral flow assays (LFAs). The images are segmented and background corrected and color intensities are extracted. The apps can be used to import and export intensity data and to calibrate LFAs by means of linear, loess, or gam models. The calibration models can further be saved and applied to intensity data from new images for determining concentrations.
