Gelman Heterogeneity Causal Quartet Data

Source: R/heterogeneous_causal_quartet.R
heterogeneous_causal_quartet.Rd

This dataset contains 88 observations, each generated under a different mechanism treatment heterogeneity with respect to some pre-exposure characteristic, z:

  • (1) Linear interaction

  • (2) No effect then steady increase

  • (3) Plateau

  • (4) Intermediate zone with large effects

Usage

heterogeneous_causal_quartet

heterogeneous_conceptual_causal_quartet

Format

heterogeneous_causal_quartet: A dataframe with 88 rows and 4 variables:

  • dataset: The data generating mechanism

  • x: exposure

  • z: a pre-exposure factor

  • y: outcome

heterogeneous_conceptual_causal_quartet: A dataframe with 88 rows and 4 variables:

  • dataset: The data generating mechanism

  • z: A pre-exposure factor

  • causal_effect: The true causal effect

Details

The dataframe heterogeneous_conceptual_causal_quartet contains the latent "true" causal effect.
