Fuzzy Difference in Differences
Overview
Differences in differences is a methodology to measure the impact of a treatment by comparing a control group, which remains untreated at two different time periods, with a treatment group, which receives the treatment at the later date. In many cases, this approach is used in situations where the intervention doesn't fully apply the treatment to the entire treatment group but rather increases the treatment rate. In response to such fuzzy scenarios, de Chaisemartin and D'Haultfoeuille (2018) doi:10.1093/restud/rdx049 introduce estimands capable of identifying local average and quantile treatment effects under various assumptions. This R package computes the estimators they are proposing.
- Added SRR standards documentation and related package-review metadata.
- Improved the
plot()method and examples for stable non-interactive checks. - Expanded native API tests for type handling and extractor behavior.
- Refactored internal
fuzzydid()helpers without changing the user-facing API.
