Description

We have written the RMVMR R package to perform radial multivariable Mendelian randomization analyses, including heterogeneity statistics for assessing instrument strength and validity. The package accommodates any number of exposures less than 6, and currently includes a range of functions for estimating causal effects, as well as assessing conditional instrument strength and pleiotropic bias.
