integral_quantile: Integral of empirical quantile function

In sccic: Synthetic Control Changes-in-Changes Estimator

Integral of empirical quantile function

Description

Computes \int_a^b Q(u) \, du where Q is the empirical quantile function of ec, i.e., Q(u) = \inf\{y : F(y) \ge u\}. Used by the discrete CIC estimator to average the counterfactual over a quantile band.

Usage

integral_quantile(ec, a, b)

Arguments

ec	An ecdf object from make_ecdf.
a	Lower integration limit in [0, 1].
b	Upper integration limit in [0, 1].

Value

Numeric scalar equal to the integral.
