expand_design
easily generates a set of design from a designer function.
Arguments
- designer
a function which yields a design
- ...
Options sent to the designer
- expand
boolean - if true, form the crossproduct of the ..., otherwise recycle them
- prefix
prefix for the names of the designs, i.e. if you create two designs they would be named prefix_1, prefix_2
Value
if set of designs is size one, the design, otherwise a `by`-list of designs. Designs are given a parameters attribute with the values of parameters assigned by expand_design.
Examples
if (FALSE) {
# in conjunction with DesignLibrary
library(DesignLibrary)
designs <- expand_design(multi_arm_designer, outcome_means = list(c(3,2,4), c(1,4,1)))
diagnose_design(designs)
# with a custom designer function
designer <- function(N) {
design <-
declare_model(
N = N,
U = rnorm(N),
potential_outcomes(Y ~ 0.20 * Z + U)
) +
declare_inquiry(ATE = mean(Y_Z_1 - Y_Z_0)) +
declare_assignment(Z = complete_ra(N, m = N/2)) +
declare_measurement(Y = reveal_outcomes(Y ~ Z)) +
declare_estimator(Y ~ Z, inquiry = "ATE")
return(design)
}
# returns list of eight designs
designs <- expand_design(designer, N = seq(30, 100, 10))
# diagnose a list of designs created by expand_design or redesign
diagnosis <- diagnose_design(designs, sims = 50)
# returns a single design
large_design <- expand_design(designer, N = 200)
diagnose_large_design <- diagnose_design(large_design, sims = 50)
