摘要

One practical challenge in observational studies and quasi-experimental designs is selection bias. The issue of selection bias becomes more concerning when data are non-normal and contain missing values. Recently, a Bayesian robust two-stage causal modeling with instrumental variables was developed and has the advantages of addressing selection bias and handle non-normal data and missing data simultaneously in one model. The method provides reliable parameter and standard error estimates when missing data and outliers exist. The modeling technique can be widely applied to empirical studies particularly in social, psychological and behavioral areas where any of the three issues (e.g., selection bias, data with outliers and missing data) is commonly seen. To implement this method, we developed an R package named ALMOND ( A nalysis of L ATE (Local Average Treatment Effect) for M issing O r/and N onnormal D ata). Package users have the flexibility to directly apply the Bayesian robust two-stage causal models or write their own Bayesian models from scratch within the package. To facilitate the application of the Bayesian robust two-stage causal modeling technique, we provide a tutorial for the ALMOND package in this article, and illustrate the application with two examples from empirical research.
