gendist1: Generate test distribution 1

In ivmte: Instrumental Variables: Extrapolation by Marginal Treatment Effects

Description

This function generates a data set for testing purposes. There is a single instrument that takes on values of 1 or 2, and the distribution of the values for the binary instrument is uniform. The MTRs are m0 ~ 0 + u and m1 ~ 1 + u. All unobservables u are integrated out.

Usage

gendist1(subN = 5, p1 = 0.4, p2 = 0.6)

Arguments

subN	integer, default set to 5. This is the number of individuals possessing each value of the instrument. So the total number of observations is subN * 2.
p1	the probability of treatment for those with the instrument Z = 1.
p2	the probability of treatment for those with the instrument Z = 2.

Value

a data.frame.
