Run pre-treatment bounds.

Usage

pre_bounds(formula, data, moderator, conf_level = 0.95, outcome_mono = 1L)

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.
conf_level: A numeric indicating the confidence level for the bootstrap confidence intervals.
outcome_mono: A integer indicating the direction of the priming monotonicity assumption. The default value 1 indicates that asking the moderator question in the pre-test moves outcomes in a positive direction for all units. The value -1 indicates it moves outcomes in a negative direction for all units.

Value

A list object containing bounds.

Examples

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