RDD with discrete running variable

Usage

morie_rdd_discrete(
  data,
  outcome,
  running,
  cutoff = 0,
  bandwidth = NULL,
  p = 0,
  alpha = 0.05
)

Arguments

data

A data.frame holding the outcome, running variable, treatment, and any covariates referenced by name.

outcome

Character; column name of the response variable in data.

running

Character; column name of the running (forcing) variable in data.

cutoff

Numeric scalar; the threshold on running. Default 0 (the canonical normalisation).

bandwidth

Numeric; the local-polynomial bandwidth on each side of the cutoff. NULL invokes the data-driven CCT selector.

p

Integer; local-polynomial order (default 1 for local- linear). 2 picks up quadratic curvature for bias correction.

alpha

Significance level (default 0.05).
