Regression standardization is a useful tool for performing causal inference in epidemiology. We have updated the R package stdReg to stdReg2 to be more user-friendly, flexible, and to include two new functionalities, a generalized linear model-based double-robust method and regression standardization for the restricted mean survival. The old package stdReg will continue to function, but new users may find the upgraded version easier to use. We highlight the improvements and implementation in this article. Keywords: average treatment effect, causal inference, regression standardization, statistical software.

Regression Toward the Mean
Regression Analysis
In regression analysis, a regression equation is determined based on the line of best fit– a line that best fits the data points plotted in a graph. This line is also called the regression line. The algebraic equation for the regression line is called the regression equation. It is represented as:
Estimating Population Standard Deviation
Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...
Estimating Population Mean with Known Standard Deviation
The confidence interval estimate will have the form as follows:
(point estimate - error bound, point estimate +...
Testing a Claim about Standard Deviation
The hypothesis testing for the claim of population standard deviation (or variance) requires the data and samples to be random and unbiased. The population distribution also must be normal. There is no specific requirement on the sample size as the estimation is based on the chi-square distribution.
As a first step, the hypothesis (null and alternative) concerning the claim about...
