In ebenmichael/ents: Maximum Entropy Synthetic Controls

Description

Generate data from a factor model as in ADH 2010 (5) and Firpo 2017 (21)

Usage

sim_factor_model(n_units, t_total, t_int, d, lambda, corr = 0,
  fac_size = 10, effect_type = "constant", sim_num = 1, frac_same = 0.3)

Arguments

n_units	Number of units (first is always treated
t_total	Total number of time steps
t_int	Time of intervention
d	Dimension of predictors
lambda	Effect size
corr	Correlation between outcomes
fac_size	Dimension of hidden factors
effect_type	Type of effect
sim_num	Simulation number, defaults to 1
frac_same	Fraction of units that are similar to the treated unit

Value

• outcomesTidy dataframe of outcomes

• metadataMetadata about the simulation
