tmleAb: Targeted maximum likelihood estimation for antibody data
The tmleAb
package estimates age-dependent antibody curves, makes it easy to estimate marginally adjusted means from the curves, and compare marginally adjusted means between populations.
This package is first and foremost a convenience wrapper: the heavy lifting for machine learning is conducted using the SuperLearner
package, and statistical estimation is conducted using the tmle
package. In addition to these features, the package also provides some methods for parametric models applied to antibody data (such as antibody acquisition models).
The package's web interface is: http://ben-arnold.github.io/tmleAb/
You can install this package easily using the devtools
package in R.
library(devtools)
install_github("ben-arnold/tmleAb")
The tmleAb
package is in active development, so periodically check for updates! We have many updated features planned. If you use the package and have any comments please send them along -- we'd love to hear from you. The package vignette includes some details about the package and a few examples of how to use its key features.
