make.linear.data {hettx}

Generate dataset according to a linear model.

Description

Given the parameters, generate a dataset and return a potential outcomes schedule (science table) of synthetic potential outcomes.

Usage

make.linear.data(
  n,
  gamma.vec = c(1, 2, 2, 1),
  gamma2.vec = NULL,
  beta.vec = c(-1, -1, 1),
  ideo.sd = 0,
  quad.tx = FALSE,
  mu.X = FALSE,
  corr.X = TRUE
)

make.quadradic.data(n, beta.vec = c(-1, -1, 1))

make.skew.data(n, beta.vec = c(-1, -1, 1))

Arguments

n

Sample size

gamma.vec

Control outcome surface

gamma2.vec

Quadratic terms

beta.vec

Treatment effect surface

ideo.sd

Ideosyncratic residual variation

quad.tx

Quadratic treatment effects?

mu.X

Center of the X covariates (can be single number or vector of length equal to the max of the length of gamma.vec, gamma2.vec, and beta.vec)

corr.X

TRUE or FALSE. Have Xs correlated or no.

Details

The control outcome surface is either linear or quadratic, of the form:

Y_i = \\gamma_0 + \\sum_{k=1}^J \\gamma_k X_{ki} + \\sum_{k=1}^{J_2} \\gamma^{(2)}_k X_{ki}^2 + \\epsilon_i

The individual treatment effects are similarly a linear or quadratic model.

Value

List of elements of data (not data frame)
