U-type and factorial designs for nonparametric Bayesian regression
This paper deals with the design problem for recovering a response surface by using a nonparametric Bayesian approach. The criterion for selecting the designs is based on the asymptotic average estimation variance, and three priors for the response are specified. We found the optimal design that minimizes the criterion over the lattice designs with s q-level factors and N runs. The approach we ...
متن کاملRegression Discontinuity Designs Using Covariates∗
We study identification, estimation, and inference in Regression Discontinuity (RD) designs when additional covariates are included in the estimation. Standard RD estimation and inference is based on local polynomial regression methods using two variables: the outcome and the running variable that determines treatment assignment. Applied researchers often include additional covariates in their ...
متن کاملRegression Discontinuity Designs in Epidemiology
When patients receive an intervention based on whether they score below or above some threshold value on a continuously measured random variable, the intervention will be randomly assigned for patients close to the threshold. The regression discontinuity design exploits this fact to estimate causal treatment effects. In spite of its recent proliferation in economics, the regression discontinuit...
متن کاملrdrobust: An R Package for Robust Nonparametric Inference in Regression-Discontinuity Designs
This article describes the R package rdrobust, which provides data-driven graphical and inference procedures for RD designs. The package includes three main functions: rdrobust, rdbwselect and rdplot. The first function (rdrobust) implements conventional local-polynomial RD treatment effect point estimators and confidence intervals, as well as robust bias-corrected confidence intervals, for ave...
متن کاملA New Nonparametric Regression for Longitudinal Data
In many area of medical research, a relation analysis between one response variable and some explanatory variables is desirable. Regression is the most common tool in this situation. If we have some assumptions for such normality for response variable, we could use it. In this paper we propose a nonparametric regression that does not have normality assumption for response variable and we focus ...
