WeightedMedian-class

An object containing the estimate produced using the median-based method as well as various statistics.

Encodes several methods for performing Mendelian randomization
analyses with summarized data. Summarized data on genetic associations with the
exposure and with the outcome can be obtained from large consortia. These data
can be used for obtaining causal estimates using instrumental variable methods.
