causaloptim: Specify Causal Graphs and Compute Bounds on Causal Effects

Dear all,
Michael, [aut, cre] of the causaloptim package will give us an introduction to his package. Thank you Michael!

I worked a lot with DAGs in the last two decades, so I am very excited about this new package.

Here is a short description of the package: The causaloptim R package allows users to derive tight bounds for causal quantities that are not directly identifiable from observed data, using a symbolic linear optimizer. It provides a user-friendly graphical interface for setting up problems via directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) and defining linear constraints, enabling the specification of causal queries.
