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

Generate individual-level data from a list of block sizes and block characteristics.

Description

This generates potential outcomes by sampling from the specified bivariate normal distributions within each block.

Usage

generate_individuals_from_blocks(
  n_k,
  alpha = 0,
  beta = 0,
  sigma_c = 1,
  sigma_t = 1,
  corr = 1,
  exact = FALSE
)

Arguments

n_k	Vector of block sizes
alpha	Vector of (expected) means of the control potential outcome
beta	Vector of the block-level Average Treatment Effects
sigma_c	Standard deviation of the control potential outcomes.
sigma_t	Standard deviation of the treatment potential outcomes
corr	Correlation of the potential outcomes.
exact	If TRUE generate data so we match the desired means and moments exactly. False means pull from bivariate normal.

Value

Matrix of the potential outcomes and block ids.
