Error in check_dag? #878
Description
Thanks for the package!
check_dag reports a somewhat cryptic error with some DAGs. Reproducible example below (a bit weird DAG, I know...)
Thanks!
library(performance)
check_dag(
y ~ x + a + b,
a ~ c + d,
b ~ c + d,
outcome = "y",
exposure = "x",
adjusted = ~ a + b
)
