estimate_npmetric_erf function

Estimate smoothed exposure-response function (ERF) for pseudo population

Estimate smoothed exposure-response function (ERF) for matched and weighted data set using non-parametric models.

estimate_npmetric_erf(
  m_Y,
  m_w,
  counter_weight,
  bw_seq,
  w_vals,
  nthread,
  kernel_appr = "locpol"
)

Arguments

• m_Y: A vector of outcome variable in the matched set.

• m_w: A vector of continuous exposure variable in the matched set.

• counter_weight: A vector of counter or weight variable in the matched set.

• bw_seq: A vector of bandwidth values.

• w_vals: A vector of values that you want to calculate the values of the ERF at.

• nthread: The number of available cores.

• kernel_appr: Internal kernel approach. Available options are locpol

  and kernsmooth.

Returns

The function returns a gpsm_erf object. The object includes the following attributes:

• params
• m_Y
• m_w
• bw_seq
• w_vals
• erf
• fcall
