Examples

# Construct variables from the included Angrist & Evans (1998) data
y = AE98[, "worked"]
D = AE98[, "morekids"]
X = AE98[, c("age","agefst","black","hisp","othrace","educ")]

# Estimate the average treatment effect using a single base learner, ridge.
ate_fit <- ddml_ate(y, D, X,
                    learners = list(what = mdl_glmnet,
                                    args = list(alpha = 0)),
                    sample_folds = 2,
                    silent = TRUE)
summary(ate_fit)
