The Extensible TMLE framework

Author: Jeremy Coyle

## What’s tmle3?

tmle3 is a general framework that supports the implementation of a range of Targeted Maximum Likelihood / Minimum Loss-Based Estimation (TMLE) parameters through exposing a unified interface. The goal is that the tmle3 framework be as general as the mathematical framework upon which it’s based.

For a general discussion of the framework of targeted minimum loss-based estimation and the role this methodology plays in statistical and causal inference, the canonical references are van der Laan and Rose (2011) and van der Laan and Rose (2018).
