microsynth (version 2.0.44)

print.microsynth: Displaying microsynth Fits and Results

Description

Print method for class 'microsynth'.

Usage

# S3 method for microsynth
print(x, ...)

Value

The functions print.microsynth and summary.microsynth display information about the microsynth fit and estimation results, if available.

The output includes two parts: 1) a display of key input parameters; and 2) estimated results, in a similar format as they appear when saved to .csv or .xlsx., once for each specified post-intervention evaluation time.

Arguments

x

A microsynth object produced by microsynth()

...

further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Examples

# Use seattledmi, block-level panel data, to evaluate a crime intervention.

# Declare time-variant (outcome) and time-invariant variables for matching
cov.var <- c('TotalPop', 'BLACK', 'HISPANIC', 'Males_1521',
       'HOUSEHOLDS', 'FAMILYHOUS', 'FEMALE_HOU', 'RENTER_HOU', 'VACANT_HOU')

match.out <- c('i_felony', 'i_misdemea', 'i_drugs', 'any_crime')
set.seed(99199) # for reproducibility

# Perform matching and estimation, without permutations or jackknife
# runtime: < 1 min

# \donttest{

                  idvar='ID', timevar='time', intvar='Intervention',
