OneSampleMR alternatives
The best OneSampleMR alternatives in analytics tools, ranked by Sparkpulse's velocity_score.
Updated Aug 15, 2026
Looking for the best alternatives to OneSampleMR? Sparkpulse tracks and ranks 12 alternatives in analytics tools by shipping velocity — how frequently each ships meaningful updates, verified from official changelogs. For reference, OneSampleMR shipped 0 meaningful updates in the last 30 days and carries a velocity score of 0.0 out of 10 in 2026. The alternatives below are ranked the same way, so you're comparing real release momentum, not marketing claims.
About OneSampleMR
OneSampleMR found that argument order in a formula was silently changing its estimates
OneSampleMR implements one-sample Mendelian randomization estimators — two-stage predictor substitution, two-stage residual inclusion, and Sanderson-Windmeijer conditional F statistics for instrument strength. The package spent its first years on packaging and dependency upkeep. The 2026 releases turn to substance: broader support for models fitted elsewhere, then a correctness fix for a defect that depended on nothing more than where covariates appeared in a formula.
