title: 'causalgenerics: Shared Generics for the ''r-causal'' Ecosystem'
version: 0.1.0.9000
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.causalgenerics
abstract: 'A home for the S3 generics shared across the ''r-causal'' ecosystem, including
  ''propensity'', ''halfmoon'', ''positively'', and ''balancing''. Owning the generic
  definitions in one place lets those packages register methods without masking one
  another when several are attached at once. The generics cover inverse probability
  weighted estimation, effective sample size, and the metadata carried by causal weight
  vectors, and the package supplies the abstract causal weight class and the result
  class those estimates are returned in, together with the methods both classes carry,
  so that the ecosystem packages inherit them rather than writing their own. The design
  follows that of the ''generics'' package, which provides commonly used S3 generics
  for the same purpose: letting packages share a single definition instead of each
  defining its own.'
