Authors: Jing Li, Sophia Rein, Sean McGrath, Roger Logan, Ryan O’Dea, Miguel Hernán

Overview

The pygformula package implements the non-iterative conditional expectation (NICE) estimator of the g-formula algorithm (Robins, 1986). The g-formula can estimate an outcome’s counterfactual mean or risk under hypothetical treatment strategies (interventions) when there is sufficient information on time-varying treatments and confounders.

Features

  • Treatments: discrete or continuous time-varying treatments.
  • Outcomes: failure time outcomes or continuous/binary end of follow-up outcomes.
  • Interventions: interventions on a single treatment or joint interventions on multiple treatments.
  • Random measurement/visit process.
  • Incorporation of a priori knowledge of the data structure.
  • Censoring events.
  • Competing events.

Requirements

The package requires python 3.8+ and these necessary dependencies:

  • cmprsk
  • joblib
  • lifelines
  • matplotlib
  • numpy
  • pandas
  • prettytable
  • pytruncreg
  • scipy
  • seaborn
  • statsmodels
  • tqdm

Documentation

The online documentation is available at pygformula documentation.
