Builds a design with one treatment and one control arm.
Treatment effects can be specified either by providing control_mean
and treatment_mean
or by specifying a control_mean
and ate
.
two_arm_designer(
N = 100,
assignment_prob = 0.5,
control_mean = 0,
control_sd = 1,
ate = 1,
treatment_mean = control_mean + ate,
treatment_sd = control_sd,

args_to_fix = NULL
)
An integer. Sample size.
A number in [0,1]. Probability of assignment to treatment.
A number. Average outcome in control.
A positive number. Standard deviation in control.
A number. Average treatment effect.
A number. Average outcome in treatment. Overrides ate
if both specified.
A nonnegative number. Standard deviation in treatment. By default equals control_sd
.
A number in [-1,1]. Correlation between treatment and control outcomes.
A character vector. Names of arguments to be args_to_fix in design.
A simple two-arm design.
Units are assigned to treatment using complete random assignment. Potential outcomes are normally distributed according to the mean and sd arguments.
