compute_qoi_user

Compute Quantities of Interest (GATE, GATEcv, URATE) with user defined functions

Provides various statistical methods for evaluating heterogeneous treatment effects (HTE) in randomized experiments. The package includes tools to estimate uniform confidence bands for estimation of the group average treatment effect sorted by generic machine learning algorithms (GATES). It also provides the tools to identify a subgroup of individuals who are likely to benefit from a treatment the most "exceptional responders" or those who are harmed by it. Detailed reference in Imai and Li (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2310.07973>.

compute_qoi_user function

<dl><dt>user_hte</dt>
<dd>A user-defined function to estimate heterogeneous treatment effects (HTE). The function should take the data as input and return an unit-level continuous score for treatment assignment. We assume those that have score less than 0 should not have treatment. The default is <code>NULL</code>, which means the heterogeneous treatment effects will be estimated from by the package.</dd>
<dt>Tcv</dt>
<dd>A vector of the unit-level binary treatment.</dd>
<dt>Ycv</dt>
<dd>A vector of the unit-level continuous outcome.</dd>
<dt>data</dt>
<dd>A data frame containing the variables of interest.</dd>
<dt>ngates</dt>
<dd>The number of gates to be used in the GATE function.</dd>

<dd>Additional arguments to be passed to the user-defined function.</dd></dl>
