In PanelMatch: Matching Methods for Causal Inference with Time-Series Cross-Sectional Data

getWits returns a vector of Wits, as defined in the paper (equation 25 or equation 23). They should be in the same order as the data frame containing the original problem data. The pts, pcs, and getWits functions act for a specific lead. So, for instance if our lead window is 0,1,2,3,4, these function must be called for each of those – so for 0, then for 1, etc.

Description

getWits returns a vector of Wits, as defined in the paper (equation 25 or equation 23). They should be in the same order as the data frame containing the original problem data. The pts, pcs, and getWits functions act for a specific lead. So, for instance if our lead window is 0,1,2,3,4, these function must be called for each of those – so for 0, then for 1, etc.

Usage

Arguments

matched_sets	matched.set object
lead	integer providing a specific lead value
data	data.frame object
estimation.method	method of estimation for calculating standard errors.

Value

data.table of Wits, as described above
