The Extensible TMLE framework
Author: Jeremy Coyle
tmle3
?
What’s tmle3
is a general framework that supports the implementation of a
range of Targeted Maximum Likelihood / Minimum Loss-Based Estimation
(TMLE) parameters through exposing a unified interface. The goal is that
the tmle3
framework be as general as the mathematical framework upon
which it’s based.
For a general discussion of the framework of targeted minimum loss-based estimation and the role this methodology plays in statistical and causal inference, the canonical references are van der Laan and Rose (2011) and van der Laan and Rose (2018).
Installation
You can install the development version of tmle3
from GitHub via
devtools
with
devtools::install_github("tlverse/tmle3")
Getting Started
The best place to get started is the “Framework Overview” document,
which describes the individual components of the tmle3
framework. It
may be found at https://tlverse.org/tmle3/articles/framework.html.
