causaleffect: an R package for causal effect identification

Functions for identification and transportation of causal effects. Provides a conditional causal effect identification algorithm (IDC) by Shpitser, I. and Pearl, J. (2006) http://ftp.cs.ucla.edu/pub/stat_ser/r329-uai.pdf, an algorithm for transportability from multiple domains with limited experiments by Bareinboim, E. and Pearl, J. (2014) http://ftp.cs.ucla.edu/pub/stat_ser/r443.pdf and a selection bias recovery algorithm by Bareinboim, E. and Tian, J. (2015) http://ftp.cs.ucla.edu/pub/stat_ser/r445.pdf. All of the previously mentioned algorithms are based on a causal effect identification algorithm by Tian, J. (2002) http://ftp.cs.ucla.edu/pub/stat_ser/r309.pdf.
