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
The FAQ says there is no module specifically designated for multinomial outcomes, and that predictive models using machine learning and fixed effects are under development.Read 11 Oct 2026 · konfound-it.org
Meta-analysis
The R package includes mkonfound() for comparing or synthesizing sensitivity analyses across multiple analyses.Read 12 Oct 2026 · konfound-it.org
R package

Regression models
YesRead 23 Sep 2026 · konfound-it.org
RIR
Robustness of Inference to Replacement estimates how much of an observed effect would need to be bias-driven to change an inference.Read 12 Oct 2026 · konfound-it.org
