make_splits: Define splits for cross-fitting

In tidyhte: Tidy Estimation of Heterogeneous Treatment Effects

Define splits for cross-fitting

Description

This takes a dataset, a column with a unique identifier and an arbitrary number of covariates on which to stratify the splits. It returns the original dataset with an additional column .split_id corresponding to an identifier for the split.

Usage

make_splits(data, identifier, ..., .num_splits)

Arguments

data	dataframe
identifier	Unquoted name of unique identifier column
...	variables on which to stratify (requires that quickblock be installed.)
.num_splits	number of splits to create. If VIMP is requested in QoI_cfg, this must be an even number.

Details

To see an example analysis, read vignette("experimental_analysis") in the context of an experiment, vignette("experimental_analysis") for an observational study, or vignette("methodological_details") for a deeper dive under the hood.

Value

original dataframe with additional .split_id column
