TMLE fit object

Source: R/tmle3_Fit.R

A tmle_fit object, containing initial and updated estimates, as well as data about the fitting procedure. TMLE updates are calculated when the object is constructed.

fit_tmle3(...)

Arguments

...

Passes all arguments to the constructor. See documentation for the Constructor.

Format

R6Class object.

Value

Param_base object

Constructor

fit_tmle3(tmle_task, likelihood, tmle_params, updater, max_it=100, ...)

tmle_task

A tmle3_Task object defining the data and NP-SEM

likelihood

A Likelihood object defining the factorized likelihood

tmle_params

A list of parameters inheriting from Param_base defining the parameter(s) of interest

updater

A tmle3_Update object defining the update procedure, including submodel and loss function

maxit

integer, maximum number of TMLE iterations

...

Not currently used.

Methods

set_timings(start_time, task_time, likelihood_time, params_time, fit_time)

Provide the timings for the different steps of the TMLE procedure, for later reporting to the user

  • tmle_task: tmle3_Task to get clever covariate values for. If NULL, the tmle_task used to train the observed likelihood will be used

estimates(tmle_task = NULL)

Get the parameter estimates and influence curve values.

  • tmle_task: tmle3_Task to get clever covariate values for. If NULL, the tmle_task used to train the observed likelihood will be used
