Targeted Maximum Likelihood Estimation (TMLE) of treatment/censoring specific mean outcome or marginal structural model for point-treatment and longitudinal data. Also provides Inverse Probability of Treatment/Censoring Weighted estimate (IPTW) and maximum likelihood based G-computation estimate (G-comp). Can be used to calculate additive treatment effect, risk ratio, and odds ratio.
