- Guidance
- The Practical Guide is intended to help implement ITCV and RIR sensitivity analyses.Read 11 Oct 2026 · konfound-it.org
- ITCV
- Impact Threshold for a Confounding Variable estimates how strongly an omitted variable would need to relate to the predictor and outcome to change an inference.Read 12 Oct 2026 · konfound-it.org
- ITCV caveat
- The package documentation cautions that ITCV was originally derived for OLS standard errors and should be interpreted cautiously when reported standard errors are not OLS-based.Read 12 Oct 2026 · konfound-it.org
- Known limitation
- The FAQ says there is currently no module specifically designated for multinomial outcomes.Read 12 Oct 2026 · konfound-it.org
- Known model gaps
