This repository provides the ABCi data set, data generation code, and code for illustrating the use of the data, as described in the draft paper (See ABCi_data_paper_draft_August2025.pdf for the current draft):
"A benchmark causal inference (ABCi) data set: simulated data on time-varying treatments, confounders and outcomes based on patients with type 2 diabetes." Ruth Keogh, Nan van Geloven, Daniala Weir.
The ABCi data set is provided as an R data file, data_ABCi.RData. The code for generating the data is in sim_ABCi_data_generate.R. Descriptive information about the data can be generated using data_descriptives.R.
An illustration of the use of the data, as described in the draft paper for Example Question 1 (Table 2). The files for performing data set-up and analyses, and plotting and tabulating results, are in the folder Q1_files. All other files are called from the file _master_Q1.R.
Similar code for Example Questions 2,3,4 appears in the folders Q2_files, Q3_files, Q4_files.
