CausalGPS - v0.4.1

Added

• Extra step to check consistency of delta_n with exposure range.
• Software paper examples were added.

Changed

• Plotting pseudo population includes object details. Set include_details = TRUE.
  *generate_pseudo_pop does not take Y as an input.

CausalGPS - v0.4.0

Changed

• Docker image supports R 4.2.3
• generate_syn_data supports vectorized_y to accelerate data generation.
• matching_fun --> dist_measure
• matching_l1 --> matching_fn
• estimate_semipmetric_erf now takes the gam models optional arguments.
• estimate_pmetric_erf now takes the gnm models optional arguments.
• trim_quantiles --> exposure_trim_qtls
• generate_pseudo_pop function accepts gps_obj as an optional input.
• internal_use is not part of parameters for estimate_gps function.
• estimate_gps function only returns id, w, and computed gps as part of dataset.
• Now the design and analysis phases are explicitly separated.
• gps_model --> gps_density. Now it takes, normal and kernel options instead of parametric and non-parametric options.

Added

• estimate_npmetric_erf supports both locpol and KernSmooth approaches.
• There is gps_trim_qtls input parameter to trim data samples based on gps values.
• Now users can also collect the original data in the pseudo population object.

Fixed

• A bug with swapping transformed covairates with original one.

CausalGPS - v0.2.9

In this version upgrade we:

• Dropped importing KernSmooth and tidyr packages.
• Droppedpred_model argument. The package only uses SuperLearner for prediction models.
• Added features to use a more optimized algorithm for a commonly used simplified case (scale = 1).
• Added effective sample size.
• Added Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) statistics for the generated pseudo-population (uses Ecume package).
• Made sl_lib a required argument.
• Removed earth and ranger packages from mandatory imports.
• Standardized the trimming approach to be less confusing for the users.
• Modified internal kernel smoothing approach.
• Renamed a couple of internal parameters for clarity and uniformity in the package.
• Fixed a bug on the covariate balance threshold.

CausalGPS - v0.2.8

Fixed

• Message for not implemented methods changed to reduce misunderstanding.
• Empty counter will raise error in estimating non-parameteric response function.

Changed

• matching_l1 returns frequency table instead of entire vector.
• Vectorized population compilation and used data.table for multi-thread assignment.
• Removed nested parallelism in compiling pseudo population, which results in close control on memory.
• estimatenpmetricerf also returns optimal h and risk values.

Added

• estimate_gps returns the optimal hyperparameters.
• estimate_gps returns S3 object.
• Internal xgboost approach support verbose parameter.
• Pseudo-population object now report the parameters that are used for the best covariate balance.

CausalGPS - v0.2.7

Fixed

• Naming covariate balance scores.

Changed

• Restarting adaptive approach to keep trying up to maximum attempt.

Added

• Synthetic data (syntheticus2010)
• Check on not defined covariate balance (absolutecorrfun, absoluteweightedcorr_fun)
• Covariate balance threshold type: mean, median, maximal.
• Improved test coverage.
• Singularity definition file.

CausalGPS - v0.2.6

Added

• added the status of optimized compile to generatepsuedopop function output.
• computeclosestwgps accepts the number of user-defined threads.

Changed

• Vignette file names.
• The trim condition from > and < into >= and <=.
• Removed seed input from generatesyndata function. In R package, setting seed value inside function is not recommended. Users can set the seed before using the function.
• OpenMP uses user defined number of cores.

Fixed

• Initial covariate balance for weighted approach. The counter column was not preallocated correctly.
• Counter value for compiling. The initial value was set to one, which, however, zero is the correct one.
• Private variable issue with OpenMP.
• Fixed OpenMP option on macOS checks.
