Arguments

Qbar

Outcome regression estimates
Qbarbar

Iterated mean estimates
Y

A vector of continuous or binary outcomes.
A

A vector of binary treatment assignment (assumed to be equal to 0 or 1).
a

The label for the treatment. The effects estimates returned pertain to estimation of interventional effects of a versus a_star.
a_star

The label for the treatment. The effects estimates returned pertain to estimation of interventional effects of a versus a_star.
gn

Power users may wish to pass in their own properly formatted list of the propensity score so that nuisance parameters can be fitted outside of intermed.
M1

A vector of mediators.
M2

A vector of mediators.
all_mediator_values

All combinations of M1 and M2
max_iter

The maximum number of iterations for the TMLE
tol

The tolerance for stopping the iterative targeting procedure.

Value

A list containing all outcome regression evaluations needed for downstream calculations.
