print.microsynth: Displaying microsynth Fits and Results

In microsynth: Synthetic Control Methods with Micro- And Meso-Level Data

Displaying microsynth Fits and Results

Description

Print method for class 'microsynth'.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'microsynth'
print(x, ...)

Arguments

x	A microsynth object produced by microsynth()
...	further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Value

The functions print.microsynth and summary.microsynth display information about the microsynth fit and estimation results, if available.

The output includes two parts: 1) a display of key input parameters; and 2) estimated results, in a similar format as they appear when saved to .csv or .xlsx., once for each specified post-intervention evaluation time.

Examples

# Use seattledmi, block-level panel data, to evaluate a crime intervention.

# Declare time-variant (outcome) and time-invariant variables for matching
cov.var <- c('TotalPop', 'BLACK', 'HISPANIC', 'Males_1521',
       'HOUSEHOLDS', 'FAMILYHOUS', 'FEMALE_HOU', 'RENTER_HOU', 'VACANT_HOU')

match.out <- c('i_felony', 'i_misdemea', 'i_drugs', 'any_crime')
set.seed(99199) # for reproducibility

# Perform matching and estimation, without permutations or jackknife
# runtime: < 1 min


sea1 <- microsynth(seattledmi,
                  idvar='ID', timevar='time', intvar='Intervention',
                  start.pre=1, end.pre=12, end.post=16,
                  match.out=match.out, match.covar=cov.var,
                  result.var=match.out, omnibus.var=match.out,
                  test='lower',
                  n.cores = min(parallel::detectCores(), 2))

# View results
print(sea1)
