  and TMLE in Graphical Models with Unmeasured Variables'

  value: 10.32614/CRAN.package.flexCausal
abstract: Provides doubly robust one-step and targeted maximum likelihood (TMLE) estimators
  for average causal effects in acyclic directed mixed graphs (ADMGs) with unmeasured
  variables. Automatically determines whether the treatment effect is identified via
  backdoor adjustment or the extended front-door functional, and dispatches to the
  appropriate estimator. Supports incorporation of machine learning algorithms via
  'SuperLearner' and cross-fitting for nuisance estimation. Methods are described
  in Guo and Nabi (2024) <https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2409.03962>.
