rddensity_fV: Internal function, implements density test.

In rddensity: Manipulation Testing Based on Density Discontinuity

Internal function, implements density test.

Description

rddensity_fV generates primitive results for the density test.

Usage

rddensity_fV(
  Y,
  X,
  Nl,
  Nr,
  Nlh,
  Nrh,
  hl,
  hr,
  p,
  s,
  kernel,
  fitselect,
  vce,
  massPoints
)

Arguments

Y	Numeric vector or data matrix, the estimated c.d.f.
X	Numeric vector or data matrix, the running variable
Nl, Nr	Integers, sample sizes to the left and right of cutoff.
Nlh, Nrh	Integers, sample sizes to the left and right of cutoff, within bandwidth
hl, hr	Numeric, bandwidth to the left and right of cutoff.
p	Integer, polynomial order
s	Integer, higher order derivative estimate
kernel	String, the kernel function, can be triangular (default), uniform or epanechnikov.
fitselect	String, the model, can be restricted or unrestricted
vce	String, specifies the procedure used to compute the variance-covariance matrix estimator. Options are: "plugin" for asymptotic plug-in standard errors. "jackknife" for jackknife standard errors.
massPoints	Boolean, whether whether point estimates and standard errors

Details

This is an internal function, and should not be called by users. NOTE: data is assumed to be on ascending order.

Value

Returns a data frame for further use.
