摘要：
研究人员通常希望利用来自一组来源的数据（例如元分析中的原始研究）来估计感兴趣目标人群中的因果效应。然而，传统的元分析方法无法为定义明确的目标人群产生具有因果可解释性的估计。在本文中，我们介绍了 CausalMetaR R 软件包，该软件包实现了高效且稳健的方法，可利用多源数据估计给定内部或外部目标人群中的因果效应。该软件包包含针对整个目标人群的平均处理效应和子组处理效应估计量。为了产生高效且稳健的因果效应估计，该软件包实现了双重稳健和非参数高效估计量，并支持使用灵活的数据自适应方法（例如机器学习技术）和交叉拟合技术来估计干扰模型（例如处理模型、结局模型）。我们描述了该软件包的关键特性，并通过一个示例演示如何使用该软件包。
英文摘要：
Researchers would often like to leverage data from a collection of sources (e.g., primary studies in a meta-analysis) to estimate causal effects in a target population of interest. However, traditional meta-analytic methods do not produce causally interpretable estimates for a well-defined target population. In this paper, we present the CausalMetaR R package, which implements efficient and robust methods to estimate causal effects in a given internal or external target population using multi-source data. The package includes estimators of average and subgroup treatment effects for the entire target population. To produce efficient and robust estimates of causal effects, the package implements doubly robust and non-parametric efficient estimators and supports using flexible data-adaptive (e.g., machine learning techniques) methods and cross-fitting techniques to estimate the nuisance models (e.g., the treatment model, the outcome model). We describe the key features of the package and demonstrate how to use the package through an example.
