Details

The package implements a hierarchical Dirichlet process Generalized Linear Model as proposed in Ferrari (2020) Modeling Context-Dependent Latent Effect Heterogeneity, which expands the non-parametric Bayesian models proposed in Mukhopadhyay and Gelfand (1997), Hannah (2011), and Heckman and Vytlacil (2007) to deal with context-dependent cases. The package can be used to estimate latent heterogeneity in the marginal effect of GLM linear coeffi- cients, to cluster data points based on that latent heterogeneity, and to investigate the occurrence of Simpson’s Paradox due to latent or omitted fea- tures.
