This is the main function for computing dose-specific effects of a continuous treatment, given a particular timing group and time period.
Usage
cont_did_acrt(gt_data, dvals = NULL, degree = 1, knots = numeric(0), ...)
Arguments
- gt_data
data that is "local" to a particular group-time average treatment effect
- dvals
The values of the treatment at which to compute dose-specific effects. If it is not specified, the default choice will be use the percentiles of the dose among all ever-treated units.
- degree
The degree of the B-Spline used in estimation. The default is 3, which in combination with the default choice for the
num-knots
, leads to fitting models for the group of treated units that only that is a cubic polynomial in the dose. Settingdegree=1
will lead to a linear model, while settingdegree=2
will lead to a quadratic model.- knots
A vector of placements of knots for b-splines. Since this function is typically called internally, this would typically be set by the calling function.
