diff_AME: Difference between AMEs in each group

In FactorHet: Estimate Heterogeneous Effects in Factorial Experiments Using Grouping and Sparsity

Difference between AMEs in each group

Description

Computes the differences between AME between two groups with an accompanying standard error.

Usage

diff_AME(object, AME, baseline_group, plot = TRUE)

Arguments

object	An object from FactorHet or FactorHet_mbo.
AME	An object containing the average marginal effects estimated using AME.
baseline_group	An integer that denotes the baseline group. The function will show the difference in AMEs from this group, i.e. Group k - Group baseline_group.
plot	A logical value as to whether the function should print the plot immediately or quietly provide an object containing the plot and data. The default is TRUE.

Value

Returns a named list with the underlying data ("data") and the plot ("plot").

Examples

  # Fit with two groups and fixed lambda for quick illustration
  
  data(immigration)
  set.seed(15)
  fit <- FactorHet(formula = Chosen_Immigrant ~ Country + Ed,
    design = immigration, group = ~ CaseID, task = ~ contest_no,
    choice_order = ~ choice_id, lambda = 1e-2,
    control = FactorHet_control(init_method = 'random_member'),
    K = 2)
  fit_AME <- AME(fit)
  diff_AME(fit, fit_AME, baseline_group = 2)
