rdpower: Power and Sample Size Calculations for RD Designs
Description
The regression discontinuity (RD) design is a popular quasi-experimental design
for causal inference and policy evaluation. The 'rdpower' package provides tools
to perform power, sample size and MDE calculations in RD designs: rdpower() calculates
the power of an RD design, rdsampsi() calculates the required sample size to achieve
a desired power and rdmde() calculates minimum detectable effects. This package relies on the rdrobust package. See Calonico, Cattaneo and Titiunik (2014, 2015) and
Calonico, Cattaneo, Farrell and Titiunik (2017).
