datasets

Extensions to the synthetic controls analyses
performed by the package 'Synth' as detailed in Abadie, Diamond, and Hainmueller (2011) <doi: 10.18637/jss.v042.i13>. Includes generating
and plotting placebos, post/pre-MSPE (Mean Squared Prediction Error) significance tests and plots,
and calculating average treatment effects for multiple treated units.
This package represents an implementation of those methods
suggested in
Abadie, Diamond,and Hainmueller (2010) <doi:10.1198/jasa.2009.ap08746> for
use in Synthetic Control Analysis.
