causalsim

R Package
✓Published on CRAN · v0.1.0

Simulation infrastructure for constructing, simulating, and evaluating causal data-generating processes with known ground truth. Covariate roles are first-class concepts in the API, and every evaluation returns bias, RMSE, coverage, and power with Monte Carlo standard errors. Designed for benchmarking causal estimators and building reproducible simulation studies.

WMAP

R Package
CRAN v1.3.1 · R Journal Under Review

Weighted Multi-Study Analysis Package for causal inference across multiple observational studies. Implements three weighting approaches including FLEXOR, which maximizes effective sample size through iterative optimization, to enable valid estimation of group-specific potential outcomes.

TRANSLATE

R Package
Active Development

A novel statistical framework for borrowing information from external cohorts to augment inference in a target study. Identifies importance weights by maximizing effective sample size subject to covariate balance constraints, explicitly controlling for distributional shift between populations.

Causal Scholar

Web Application
✓Live

Full-stack platform that maps health services and policy research as an interactive knowledge graph, tagging each paper's identification strategy, policy lever, and outcomes using natural language processing and curated method taxonomies. Supports exploration of a literature by causal design (e.g., difference-in-differences, regression discontinuity), with sentence-level evidence for every tag, filtering by method, policy lever, and outcome, and export of filtered results to CSV and PDF.

DAG Studio

Web Application
✓Live

Interactive browser tool for constructing and reasoning about directed acyclic graphs as graphical causal models. Supports visual DAG building, automatic identification of adjustment sets, and backdoor path analysis. Runs entirely client-side.
