EValue: Sensitivity Analyses for Unmeasured Confounding and Other Biases in Observational Studies and Meta-Analyses

Conducts sensitivity analyses for unmeasured confounding, selection bias, and measurement error (individually or in combination; VanderWeele & Ding (2017) <doi:10.7326/M16-2607>; Smith & VanderWeele (2019) <doi:10.1097/EDE.0000000000001032>; VanderWeele & Li (2019) <doi:10.1093/aje/kwz133>; Smith, Mathur, & VanderWeele (2021) <doi:10.1097/EDE.0000000000001380>). Also conducts sensitivity analyses for unmeasured confounding in meta-analyses (Mathur & VanderWeele (2020a) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2018.1529598>; Mathur & VanderWeele (2020b) <doi:10.1097/EDE.0000000000001180>) and for additive measures of effect modification (Mathur et al., <doi:10.1093/ije/dyac073>).
