lldistreg: lldistreg

In TempleMetrics: Estimating Conditional Distributions

Description

the main function for running "local" distribution regressions. This function runs a local regression that is local for a single (scalar) continuous treatment variable. It also allows for other variables but it does not smooth over these variables.

Usage

lldistreg(formla, xformla = NULL, data, yvals, tvals, link = "logit",
  cl = 1)

Arguments

formla	y ~ t , t must be a single continuous variable
xformla	~x, x are other (non-smoothed) variables included in the model
data	the dataset
yvals	all the values of y to compute F(y|t,x)
tvals	the values of the continuous treatment to comput F(y|t,x)
link	which link function to use, it can be anything accepted by glm (for example, logit, probit, or cloglog), the default is "logit"
cl	the number of clusters to use, default is 1

Value

a list of llDR objects that are indexed by the values in yvals and tvals

Examples

data(igm)
lldistreg(lcfincome ~ lfincome, ~HEDUC, igm, 10, 10)
