tipr: Tipping Point Analyses
The strength of evidence provided by epidemiological and
observational studies is inherently limited by the potential for
unmeasured confounding. We focus on three key quantities: the
observed bound of the confidence interval closest to the null, the
relationship between an unmeasured confounder and the outcome, for
example a plausible residual effect size for an unmeasured continuous
or binary confounder, and the relationship between an unmeasured
confounder and the exposure, for example a realistic mean difference
or prevalence difference for this hypothetical confounder between
exposure groups. Building on the methods put forth by Cornfield et al.
(1959), Bross (1966), Schlesselman (1978), Rosenbaum & Rubin (1983),
Lin et al. (1998), Lash et al. (2009), Rosenbaum (1986), Cinelli &
Hazlett (2020), VanderWeele & Ding (2017), and Ding & VanderWeele
(2016), we can use these quantities to assess how an unmeasured
confounder may tip our result to insignificance.
