Specify the outcome regression model for a CDE treatment

Specifies the functional form and estimation engine for an outcome regression of a treatment previously specified by set_treatment() and the past history of covariates.

Usage

outreg_model(
  object,
  formula,
  engine,
  separate = TRUE,
  include_past = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

object: A cde_estimator object that contains output from a previous call to set_treatment().
formula: A formula specifying the design matrix of the covariates. Passed to fitting engine or used with stats::model.frame() and stats::model.matrix() to create the design matrix for fitting engines that do not take formulas.
engine: String indicating the name of the fitting engine.
separate: Logical indicating whether the fitting algorithm should be applied separately to each history of the treatment variables up to this point (default) or not.
include_past: A logical value where TRUE indicates that formulas passed to previous treat_model calls should be appended to the formula given.
...: Other arguments to be passed to the engine algorithms.
