Bootstrap Uncertainty Estimates for Telescope Matching

Source: R/telescope_match.R
boots_tm.Rd

Performs a weighted bootstrap procedure for the output of telescope_match.

Usage

boots_tm(obj, boots = 1000, ci_alpha = 0.05)

Arguments

obj

A tmatch object, computed by telescope_match.

boots

The number of bootstrap replicates. Defaults to 1000.

ci_alpha

alpha value for the bootstrapped confidence intervals. Corresponds to a 100 * (1-alpha) confidence interval.

Value

An data.frame with columns `ci_low` and `ci_high` which contain the bootstrapped confidence intervals for the estimated ACDEs in obj$tau.

Examples

# \donttest{
data(jobcorps)

## Split male/female
jobcorps_female <- subset(jobcorps, female == 1)

## Telescope matching formula - First stage (X and Z)
tm_form <- exhealth30 ~  schobef + trainyrbef + jobeverbef  |
treat | emplq4 + emplq4full | work2year2q
