Arguments

av

Validation data

at

Training data

covars

The mediator variable

w_names

Covariate names

q_model

A character vector covariates to adjust for.

g_model

The training data

exposure

A numeric indicating the magnitude of the shift to be computed for the exposure A. This is passed to the internal

g_delta

Amount of delta applied to exposure in g model

m_delta

Amount of delta applied to exposure in m model

Value

A data.table with two columns, containing estimates of the outcome mechanism at the natural value of the exposure Q(A, W) and an upshift of the exposure Q(A + delta, W).

Details

Does the double integration as described in lemma 1
