ovbias_lm: Compute bias adjusted treatment effect taking three lm objects as input.

Description

Compute bias adjusted treatment effect taking three lm objects as input.

Usage

ovbias_lm(lm_shrt, lm_int, lm_aux, deltalow, deltahigh, Rhigh, e)

Arguments

lm_shrt

lm object corresponding to the short regression

lm_int

lm object corresponding to the intermediate regression

lm_aux

lm object corresponding to the auxiliary regression

deltalow

The lower limit of delta

deltahigh

The upper limit of delta

Rhigh

The upper limit of Rmax

e

The step size

Value

List with three elements:

Data

Data frame containing the bias and bias-adjusted treatment effect for each point on the grid

bias_Distribution

Quantiles (2.5,5.0,50,95,97.5) of the empirical distribution of bias

bstar_Distribution

Quantiles (2.5,5.0,50,95,97.5) of the empirical distribution of the bias-adjusted treatment effect

Examples

# NOT RUN {
## Load data set
data("NLSY_IQ")
 
## Set age and race as factor variables
NLSY_IQ$age <- factor(NLSY_IQ$age)
NLSY_IQ$race <- factor(NLSY_IQ$race)

## Short regression
reg_s <- lm(iq_std ~ BF_months + factor(age) + sex, data = NLSY_IQ)

## Intermediate regression
reg_i <- lm(iq_std ~ BF_months + 
factor(age) + sex + income + motherAge + 
motherEDU + mom_married + factor(race),
data = NLSY_IQ)

## Auxiliary regression
reg_a <- lm(BF_months ~ factor(age) + 
sex + income + motherAge + motherEDU + 
mom_married + factor(race), data = NLSY_IQ)

## Set limits for the bounded box
Rlow <- summary(reg_i)$r.squared
Rhigh <- 0.61
deltalow <- 0.01
deltahigh <- 0.99
e <- 0.01
