cb.sims.get_beta_overlap {causalBatch}

Compute overlap of two beta distributions

Description

Compute overlap of two beta distributions

Usage

cb.sims.get_beta_overlap(a1, b1, a2, b2, nbreaks = 1000)

Arguments

a1

alpha of the first covariate distribution.

b1

beta of the first covariate distribution.

a2

alpha of the second covariate distribution.

b2

beta of the second covariate distribution.

nbreaks

the number of breakpoints for approximating the covariate overlap.

Value

the level of covariate overlap, corresponding to the AUC upper-bounded by the probability density functions for each of the beta distributions.
