lldistreg: lldistreg

Description

the main function for running "local" distribution regressions. This function runs a local regression that is local for a single (scalar) continuous treatment variable. It also allows for other variables but it does not smooth over these variables.

Usage

lldistreg(formla, xformla = NULL, data, yvals, tvals, link = "logit",
  cl = 1)

Arguments

formla

y ~ t , t must be a single continuous variable

xformla

~x, x are other (non-smoothed) variables included in the model

data

the dataset

yvals

all the values of y to compute F(y|t,x)

tvals

the values of the continuous treatment to comput F(y|t,x)

link

which link function to use, it can be anything accepted by glm (for example, logit, probit, or cloglog), the default is "logit"

cl

the number of clusters to use, default is 1

Value

a list of llDR objects that are indexed by the values in yvals and tvals

Examples

# NOT RUN {
data(igm)
lldistreg(lcfincome ~ lfincome, ~HEDUC, igm, 10, 10)

# }
