Robust Inference in Fuzzy Regression Discontinuity Designs
Fuzzy regression discontinuity (RD) design and instrumental variable(s) (IV) regression share similar identification strategies and numerically yield the same results under certain conditions. While the weak identification problem is widely recognized in IV regressions, it has drawn much less attention in fuzzy RD designs, where the standard t-test can also suffer from asymptotic size distortio...
متن کاملRobust Nonparametric Bias-Corrected Inference in the Regression Discontinuity Design∗
In the regression discontinuity design units are assigned treatment based on whether their value of an observed covariate exceeds a known cutoff. Local polynomial estimators are now routinely employed to construct confidence intervals for treatment effects in this design. The performance of these confidence intervals in applications, however, may be seriously hampered by their sensitivity to th...
متن کاملBias-corrected Confidence Intervals for Rare Searches
We discuss the problem of selecting an optimal cut and then finding confidence limits based on that cut. Even when performing a blind analysis this may lead to a bias in the limits because the cut selected may be optimal for a real or simulated data set with limited statistics and thus may be sensitive to fluctuations in this data set. We propose to use a variant of the bootstrap to find the li...
متن کاملBootstrap confidence intervals in nonparametric regression with built-in bias correction
The problem of estimating nonparametric regression with associated confidence intervals is addressed. It is shown that through appropriate choice of infinite order kernel, it is possible to construct bootstrap confidence intervals which do not require either explicit bias correction or suboptimal levels of smoothing at any stage of the estimation. In particular, it is demonstrated that in this ...
متن کاملBOOTSTRAP CONFIDENCE INTERVALS 1 BootES : An R Package for Bootstrap Confidence Intervals on Effect Sizes
Bootstrap Effect Sizes (bootES; Gerlanc & Kirby, 2012) is a free, open source software package for R (R Development Core Team, 2012), which is a language and environment for statistical computing. BootES computes both unstandardized and standardized effect sizes (such as Cohen’s d, Hedges’s g, and Pearson’s r), and makes easily available for the first time the computation of their bootstrap CIs...
