In lmiratrix/blkvar: ATE and Treatment Variation Estimation for Blocked and Multisite RCTs

The blkvar package

This code bundle is a package for estimating impacts and cross-site variation in multi-site or blocked RCTs. It also has a bunch of routines for running multisite simulation scenarios, in particular code for generating multisite data parameterized by parameters such as the intraclass correlation coefficient and degree of cross-site impact variation. It is used in a variety of research projects connected with the Miratrix CARES Lab (https://cares.gse.harvard.edu/) and other research that Miratrix is part of.

A core method of the package is compare_methods(), which uses a bunch of different estimation strategies on multisite data to estimate the ATE, and then makes a table of the results.

Also see block_estimator() which implements the various variance estimators for blocked experiments as discussed in the Pashley & Miratrix JEBS papers.

Installing blkvar

You can install the package from github using the devtools package:

library( devtools )
devtools::install_github("lmiratrix/blkvar")
