handle_bootstrap_placebo_parallel function

handle_bootstrap_placebo_parallel

Helper function for calculating bootstrapped estimates for the placebo test. This version is parallelized.

handle_bootstrap_placebo_parallel(
  qoi.in,
  data.in,
  placebo.lead,
  number.iterations,
  att.treated.unit.ids,
  atc.treated.unit.ids,
  outcome.variable,
  unit.id.variable,
  confidence.level,
  lag,
  num.cores = 1
)

Arguments

• qoi.in: String specifying qoi
• data.in: data.frame object with the data
• number.iterations: integer. Specifies number of bootstrap iterations
• att.treated.unit.ids: Integer vector specifying the treated units for the att or art
• atc.treated.unit.ids: Integer vector specifying the "treated" units under the atc definition
• outcome.variable: string specifying the name of the outcome variable
• unit.id.variable: string specifying the name of the unit id variable
• confidence.level: double. specifies confidence level for confidence interval
• lag: integer vector specifying size of the lag.
• num.cores: number of cores to be used for parallelization

Returns

Returns a matrix of bootstrapped QOI estimate values.
