• For user clarity, the name of the argument for providing externally computed observation-level weights has changed (from ext_weights) to svy_weights.
  • Support for the natural direct and indirect effects has been added, requiring the addition of the new internal argument effect_type across functions for estimation, including cv_eif(), est_onestep(), and est_tml(). When Z = NULL is set in medoutcon(), a natural effect estimate corresponding to the argument effect is returned instead of an interventional effect.
  • The summary() and print() methods have been updated to allow handling of natural effects and counterfactual means under arbitrary contrasts.
  • An initial public release of this package, version 0.1.0, which includes support for external observation-level weights.
