This R package implements contamination bias diagnostics, using procedures from Goldsmith-Pinkham, Hull, and Kolesár (2024). See multe-stata for a Stata version of this package.
See vignette multe for description of the package (available through vignette("multe")
once package is installed), and the package manual for documentation of the package functions.
This software package is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under grant numbers SES-22049356 (Kolesár), and by work supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship (Kolesár).
You can install the released version of multe
from CRAN with:
install.packages("multe")
Alternatively, you can get the current development version from GitHub:
if (!requireNamespace("remotes")) { install.packages("remotes") } remotes::install_github("kolesarm/multe")
The packages takes the output of lm
, and computes alternative estimates of the treatment effects that are free of contamination bias.
