Method gen_data()

Sets up the data

Usage

LaLonde$gen_data()

Method get_tau()

Returns the experimental treatment effect, $1794

Usage

LaLonde$get_tau()

Method gen_x()

Sets up the covariate data

Usage

LaLonde$gen_x()

Method gen_y()

Sets up the outcome data

Usage

LaLonde$gen_y()

Method gen_z()

Sets up the treatment indicator

Usage

LaLonde$gen_z()

Method new()

Initializes the LaLonde object.

Usage

LaLonde$new(n = NULL, p = NULL, param = list(), design = "NSW", ...)

Arguments

n

Not used. Maintained for symmetry with other DataSim objects.

p

Not used. Maintained for symmetry with other DataSim objects.

param

Not used. Maintained for symmetry with other DataSim objects.

design

One of "NSW" or "Full". "NSW" uses the original experimental data from the job training program while option "Full" uses the treated individuals from LaLonde's study and compares them to individuals from the Current Population Survey as controls.

...

Not used.

Examples

nsw <- LaLonde$new(design = "NSW")
nsw$gen_data()
nsw$get_n()

obs.study <-  LaLonde$new(design = "Full")
obs.study$gen_data()
obs.study$get_n()

Method get_design()

Returns the chosen design parameters

Usage

LaLonde$get_design()

Method clone()

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage

LaLonde$clone(deep = FALSE)

Arguments

deep

Whether to make a deep clone.
