estimate_QoI {tidyhte}

Estimate Quantities of Interest

Description

estimate_QoI takes a dataframe already prepared with split IDs, plugin estimates and pseudo-outcomes and calculates the requested quantities of interest (QoIs).

Usage

estimate_QoI(data, ...)

Arguments

data

data frame (already prepared with attach_config, make_splits, produce_plugin_estimates and construct_pseudo_outcomes)

...

Unquoted names of moderators to calculate QoIs for.

Details

To see an example analysis, read vignette("experimental_analysis") in the context of an experiment, vignette("experimental_analysis") for an observational study, or vignette("methodological_details") for a deeper dive under the hood.
