treat_assign

<code>treat_assign</code> computes the treatment variable, <code>t</code>, based on the cutoff of 
assignment variable, <code>x</code>.
This is an internal function and is typically not directly invoked by the user. 
It can be accessed using the triple colon, as in rddapp:::treat_assign().

Estimation of both single- and multiple-assignment Regression Discontinuity Designs
(RDDs). Provides both parametric (global) and non-parametric (local) estimation choices for
both sharp and fuzzy designs, along with power analysis and assumption checks.
Introductions to the underlying logic and analysis of RDDs are in
Thistlethwaite, D. L., Campbell, D. T. (1960) <doi:10.1037/h0044319> and
Lee, D. S., Lemieux, T. (2010) <doi:10.1257/jel.48.2.281>.

treat_assign function

<dl><dt>x</dt>
<dd>A numeric vector containing the assignment variable, <code>x</code>.</dd>
<dt>cut</dt>
<dd>A numeric value containing the cutpoint at which assignment to the treatment is determined. The default is 0.</dd>
<dt>t.design</dt>
<dd>A string specifying the treatment option according to design.
Options are <code>"g"</code> (treatment is assigned if <code>x</code> is greater than its cutoff),
<code>"geq"</code> (treatment is assigned if <code>x</code> is greater than or equal to its cutoff),
<code>"l"</code> (treatment is assigned if <code>x</code> is less than its cutoff),
and <code>"leq"</code> (treatment is assigned if <code>x</code> is less than or equal to its cutoff).
The default is <code>"l"</code>.</dd></dl>
