Find Instrumental Variables

Description

node_instrumental tags instrumental variables given an exposure and outcome. ggdag_instrumental plots all instrumental variables. See dagitty::instrumentalVariables() for details.

Usage

node_instrumental(.dag, exposure = NULL, outcome = NULL, ...)

ggdag_instrumental(
  .tdy_dag,
  exposure = NULL,
  outcome = NULL,
  ...,
  node_size = 16,
  text_size = 3.88,
  label_size = text_size,
  text_col = "white",
  label_col = text_col,
  node = TRUE,
  stylized = FALSE,
  text = TRUE,
  use_labels = NULL
)

Arguments

`.dag, .tdy_dag`	input graph, an object of class `tidy_dagitty` or `dagitty`
`exposure`	character vector of length 1, name of exposure variable. Default is `NULL`, in which case it will check the input DAG for exposure.
`outcome`	character vector of length 1, name of exposure variable. Default is `NULL`, in which case it will check the input DAG for exposure.
`...`	additional arguments passed to `tidy_dagitty()`
`node_size`	size of DAG node
`text_size`	size of DAG text
`label_size`	size of label text
`text_col`	color of DAG text
`label_col`	color of label text
`node`	logical. Should nodes be included in the DAG?
`stylized`	logical. Should DAG nodes be stylized? If so, use `geom_dag_nodes` and if not use `geom_dag_point`
`text`	logical. Should text be included in the DAG?
`use_labels`	a string. Variable to use for `geom_dag_repel_label()`. Default is `NULL`.

Value

a tidy_dagitty with an instrumental column for instrumental variables or a ggplot

Examples

library(dagitty)

node_instrumental(dagitty("dag{ i->x->y; x<->y }"), "x", "y")
ggdag_instrumental(dagitty("dag{ i->x->y; i2->x->y; x<->y }"), "x", "y")
