per_distance: Distance Between Distributions

In optinterv: Optimal Intervention

Description

Calculate distance in RMSE between quantiles of distributions

Usage

per_distance(x, n.quant, wgt, wgt1, p = 2/3, plot.sign = F)

Arguments

x	variable.
n.quant	number of quantiles.
wgt	original weights.
wgt1	weights under I = 1.
p	proportion of quantiles that need to be increase (decrease) in order to return a positive (negative) sign.
plot.sign	if F returns RMSE, if T returns the sign of effect.

Value

scalar for distance. If sign = TRUE, returns +1 (-1) for increasing (decreasing) p of quantiles. Else returns 0
