Overview

About

Maintained by Ibon TamayoCRAN page ↗

A set of functions for the design and analysis of Regression Discontinuity Designs as local randomized experiments within the potential outcome approach as formalized in Li, Mattei and Mealli (2015) doi:10.1214/15-AOAS809. A subset of functions implements the design phase of the study, where the focus is on the selection of suitable subpopulations for which valid causal inference can be drawn. These functions provide summary statistics of pre- and post-treatment variables by treatment status and select suitable subpopulations around the threshold where pre-treatment variables are well balanced between treatment groups, using randomization-based tests with adjustment for multiplicities. Functions for a visual inspection of the results are also provided. Finally, the package includes a set of functions for drawing inference on causal effects for the selected subpopulations using randomization-based modes of inference. Specifically, the Fisher Exact p-value and Neyman approaches are implemented for the analysis of both sharp and fuzzy Regression Discontinuity designs. The approach is illustrated in a study concerning the effects of university grants on student dropout.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("LRErdd", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-lrerdd

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-LRErdd

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-LRErdd

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
