Calculate Average Treatment Effect — calculate

Computes the average treatment effect (ATE) based on the specified effect scale.

Usage

calculate_ate(mean_A, mean_C, effect)

Arguments

mean_A, mean_C

Mean of the outcome for the treatment and control

effect

A character string specifying the effect scale. Options are:

"log_odds": Log-odds difference.
"risk_difference": Risk difference.
"delta_z": Probit scale difference (z-scores).
"log_relative_risk_rare_events": Log relative risk for rare events.
"log_relative_risk": Log relative risk.

Value

The computed average treatment effect on the specified scale.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
calculate_ate(mean_A = 0.7, mean_C = 0.5, effect = "log_odds")
calculate_ate(mean_A = 0.7, mean_C = 0.5, effect = "risk_difference")
} # }
