Estimate ATEs for a cluster RCT using linear model

Usage

linear_model_estimators(
  formula,
  data = NULL,
  control_formula = NULL,
  weight = c("Person", "Cluster"),
  blockCRVE = FALSE
)

Arguments

formula

Formula for outcome and treatment and nesting. If NULL, data is assumed to be in canonical form (see vignette for further discussion).

data

Data frame holding the outcome, treatment, and clustering/blocking columns referenced by `formula` (or already in canonical form if `formula` is NULL).

control_formula

What variables to control for, in the form of "~ X1 + X2".

weight

"Person" to weight the regression by individual (unweighted OLS), "Cluster" to weight so each cluster contributes equally (inverse cluster-size weights).

blockCRVE

If TRUE, cluster the robust standard errors at the block level instead of the cluster level. Requires blocks to be present.
