Equation 3.4 of FEDAI. The standard error depends on the variance of both schedules of potential outcomes and on their covariance, which is why it cannot be computed from observed data: no unit reveals both of its potential outcomes.

Usage

equation_3.4(var_Y0, var_Y1, cov_Y0_Y1, N, m)

Arguments

var_Y0

the variance of the untreated potential outcomes

var_Y1

the variance of the treated potential outcomes

cov_Y0_Y1

the covariance of the treated and untreated potential outcomes

N

the number of units in the experiment

m

the number of units assigned to treatment

Value

A numeric scalar, the standard error of the difference-in-means estimator.

Examples

var_Y0 <- pop_var(table_2_1$Y_Z_0)
var_Y1 <- pop_var(table_2_1$Y_Z_1)
cov_Y0_Y1 <- pop_cov(table_2_1$Y_Z_0, table_2_1$Y_Z_1)

equation_3.4(var_Y0 = var_Y0,
             var_Y1 = var_Y1,
             cov_Y0_Y1 = cov_Y0_Y1,
             N = 7,
             m = 2)
