indirect_effect function

Retreive Indirect Effect estimates

Retrieves the population average indirect causal effect for specified allocations: $Yhat(0, alpha1) - Yhat(0, alpha2)$. This is the effect due to the coverage (allocation) levels.

indirect_effect(object, allocation1, allocation2 = NULL, trt.lvl = 0)

ie(object, allocation1, allocation2 = NULL, trt.lvl = 0)

Arguments

• object: an object of class interference
• allocation1: the allocation scheme for which to estimate indirect effects
• allocation2: the allocation scheme for which to estimate indirect effects. If NULL, then returns all indirect effects compared to allocation1.
• trt.lvl: Defaults to 0.

Returns

a data.frame with requested values
