The framework of causal decomposition of group disparities developed by
    Yu and Elwert (2023)
    <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2306.16591>.
    This package implements the decomposition estimators
    that are based on efficient influence functions. For the
    nuisance functions of the estimators, both parametric and
    nonparametric options are provided, as well as manual options in case
    the default models are not satisfying.

Estimates hidden Markov models from the family of Cholesky-decomposed Gaussian hidden Markov models (CDGHMM) under various missingness schemes. This family improves upon estimation of traditional Gaussian HMMs by directly modelling the distinct correlation structures that arise from longitudinal data, as well as, controlling for dropped out observations and non-random missingness. See Neal, Sochaniwsky and McNicholas (2024) <DOI:10.48550/arXiv.2404.04122>.

The concept of cause-deleted life expectancy improvement is statistic designed to quantify the increase in life expectancy if a certain cause of death is removed. See Adamic, P. (2015) (<https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2689352>).
