Population moments

Divide by N rather than N - 1. A schedule of potential outcomes is a population, not a sample from one.

pop_var()

Population variance

pop_cov()

Population covariance

pop_sd()

Population standard deviation

Standard errors and tests

The true standard error, which needs the potential outcomes no experiment reveals, and the indirect test for effect heterogeneity.

equation_3.4()

The true standard error of a two-arm experiment under complete random assignment

difference_in_variances()

Test for a difference in outcome variances between treatment arms

Simulations

Bayesian updating from an experimental result, and a simulated research literature in which studies arrive in a random order.

posterior_mean_fn()

Compute the Bayesian posterior mean given a normal prior and experimental result

simulate_posteriors()

Simulate Bayesian posterior distributions across experimental sample sizes

make_studies()

Simulate a research literature with a gender-composition moderator
