boots_tm: Bootstrap Uncertainty Estimates for Telescope Matching

In DirectEffects: Estimating Controlled Direct Effects for Explaining Causal Findings

Bootstrap Uncertainty Estimates for Telescope Matching

Description

Performs a weighted bootstrap procedure for the output of telescope_match.

Usage

boots_tm(obj, boots = 1000, ci_alpha = 0.05)

Arguments

obj	A tmatch object, computed by telescope_match.
boots	The number of bootstrap replicates. Defaults to 1000.
ci_alpha	alpha value for the bootstrapped confidence intervals. Corresponds to a 100 * (1-alpha) confidence interval.

Value

An data.frame with columns 'ci_low' and 'ci_high' which contain the bootstrapped confidence intervals for the estimated ACDEs in obj$tau.

Examples

data(jobcorps)

## Split male/female
jobcorps_female <- subset(jobcorps, female == 1)

## Telescope matching formula - First stage (X and Z)
tm_form <- exhealth30 ~  schobef + trainyrbef + jobeverbef  |
treat | emplq4 + emplq4full | work2year2q
