Bounds on the average treatment effect

Worst-case bounds from a single round of data collection, and the double-sampling bounds that narrow them by chasing a random sample of the nonrespondents. All three accept a stratification variable for poststratification, which targets the same identification region and estimates it more precisely.

estimator_ev(): Extreme Value (Manski) Bounds
estimator_ds(): Extreme Value Bounds with Double Sampling
estimator_ds_sens(): Extreme Value Bounds with Double Sampling with Sensitivity

Sensitivity analysis

How far ignorability has to fail among the follow-up nonrespondents before a finding stops holding.

sensitivity_ds(): Sensitivity Analysis

Trimming bounds

Lee (2009) bounds, which assume treatment moves response in one direction only and do not require the outcome to be bounded.

estimator_trim(): Trimming Bounds

Working with results

Every estimator returns a named numeric vector. The tidy methods put the same quantities in a data frame with the column names DeclareDesign expects.
