Run post-treatment bounds.

Usage

post_bounds(
  formula,
  data,
  moderator,
  sims = 1000,
  conf_level = 0.95,
  moderator_mono = NULL,
  stable_mod = FALSE,
  nondiff = FALSE,
  progress = TRUE
)

Arguments

formula: A formula with syntax y ~ t, where y is the (unquoted) name of the outcome and t is the (unquoted) name of the treatment.
data: A data.frame containing variables in the formula, moderator, and covariates arguments.
moderator: A one-sided formuala with syntax ~ d, where d is the (unquoted) name of the moderator variable for the CATE.
sims: An integer indicating the number of simulations for the bootstrap confidence intervals for the bounds.
conf_level: A numeric indicating the confidence level for the bootstrap confidence intervals.
moderator_mono: A integer or vector of length 2 indicating if the bounds should assume monotonicity of the effect of the post-test on the moderator with 1 indicating that the post-test effect is positive and -1 indicating that it is negative. The vector of length 2 allows the monotonicity assumption to vary by treatment status with the first entry being for control and the second for treated.
stable_mod: A logical value indicating if the bounds should assume that the moderator is unaffected by pre-vs-post measurement under the control condition.
nondiff: A logical value indicating if the bounds should assume the treatment effect on the moderator is independent of the potential outcomes.
progress: A logical indicating if progress bars should be displayed. Defaults to TRUE.

Value

A list object containing bounds.

Examples

data(delponte)
post_bounds(
  formula = angry_bin ~ t_commonality,
   data = delponte,
  moderator = ~ itaid_bin
