beta_given_delta: beta_given_delta

In fineiskid/scdlintrend: Effect Size Estimation in SCD Studies with Linear Trends

Description

derive a beta vector for an (AB)^k SCD study with desired treatment effect equal to delta. Uses gradient descent for convergence

Usage

beta_given_delta(delta, c_vec, sigma = 1, tau = 1, tol = 1e-06,
  slope_baseline = 0.5, slope_treatment = 1)

Arguments

delta	the standardized mean difference effect size
sigma	the true within-case variance
tau	the true between-case variance
tol	absolute difference between true and estimated delta required for convergence
slope_baseline	linear trend during baseline subphase
slope_treatment	linear trend during treatment subphase
c_vector	vector of multipliers for beta vector

Value

list containing an estimated beta vector and loss values obtained during convergence
