PE function

Partial effect from a binary bivariate model

PE can be used to calculate the sample treatment effect from a a binary bivariate model, with corresponding interval obtained using posterior simulation.

PE(x1, idx, n.sim = 100, prob.lev = 0.05, 
   plot = FALSE, 
   main = "Histogram of Simulated Average Effects", 
   xlab = "Simulated Average Effects", ...)

Arguments

• x1: A fitted gjrm object.
• idx: This is useful to pick a particular individual and must be provided.
• n.sim: Number of simulated coefficient vectors from the posterior distribution of the estimated model parameters. This is used when delta = FALSE. It may be increased if more precision is required.
• prob.lev: Overall probability of the left and right tails of the AT distribution used for interval calculations.
• plot: If TRUE then a plot of the histogram and kernel density estimate of the simulated average effects is produced.
• main: Title for the plot.
• xlab: Title for the x axis.
• ...: Other graphics parameters to pass on to plotting commands. These are used only when hd.plot = TRUE.

Details

PE measures the sample average effect from a binary bivariate model when a binary response (associated with a continuous outcome) takes values 0 and 1. Posterior simulation is used to obtain a confidence/credible interval.
