ivEstimate: Obtaining IV-like specifications

In ivmte: Instrumental Variables: Extrapolation by Marginal Treatment Effects

Description

This function estimates the IV-like estimands, as well as generates the weights associated with the IV-like specifications.

Usage

ivEstimate(
  formula,
  data,
  subset,
  components,
  treat,
  list = FALSE,
  order = NULL
)

Arguments

formula	formula to be estimated using OLS/IV.
data	data.frame with which to perform the estimation.
subset	subset condition with which to perform the estimate.
components	vector of variable names whose coefficients we want to include in the set of IV-like estimands.
treat	name of treatment indicator variable.
list	logical, set to TRUE if this function is being used to loop over a list of formulas.
order	integer, default set to NULL. This is simply an index of which IV-like specification the estimate corresponds to.

Value

Returns a list containing the matrices of IV-like specifications for D = 0 and D = 1; and the estimates of the IV-like estimands.

Examples

dtm <- ivmte:::gendistMosquito()
ivEstimate(formula = ey ~ d | z,
           data = dtm,
           components = l(d),
           treat = d,
           list = FALSE)
