Thanks, Ingo! Graham Goff and I have put a lot of work into this package. {DAGassist} can estimate a wide range of models and classify covariate roles after you make your DAG either with {ggdag} or {daggitty}. We hope that the package can make DAG-consistent estimation a little easier for everyone!

{DAGassist} let's you process a DAG and estimate models giving {dagitty} input and baseline model #CausalSky #rstats cran.r-project.org/web/packages... I think {ggdag} has more to offer for analysis of a DAG, while {DAGassist} is a one-stop package for classifying variables and getting estimates

FastRerandomize unites batched candidate generation, key-only storage & design-respecting inference, while using the SoTA in accelerated computing (T/GPU). That design delivers order‑of‑mag speedups & enables tighter covariate balance in high-dim experiments⇢more precise causal estimates, lower cost
