This repository contains code for producing the simulations and plots in my master thesis: Diagnostic Tool for Interference Features in GATE Estimation.
The code available at https://github.com/ajchin/regression-adjustments was used as a starting point for our implementations and simulations. The repository contains code used to produce the results shown in A. Chin, Regression adjustments for estimating the global treatment effect in experiments with interference, Journal of Causal Inference, May 2019 (https://www.degruyter.com/view/j/jci.ahead-of-print/jci-2018-0026/jci-2018-0026.xml)
The directory data serves as a placeholder folder for the data.
facebook100is a placeholder for the files from the Facebook100 dataset, which is publicly available from the Internet Archive at https://archive.org/details/oxford-2005-facebook-matrix and other public repositories.
The directory src contains all the code used for the thesis report
setup.Rinstalls and loads all the packages used in the simulations
- The
functionsfolder contains helpers classified as follows:
covariate_functions.Rcontains functions for generating some possible interference features.response_functions.Rgenerates the outcomes for different models.data_generators.Rbuilds data frames containing realized samples of the data.existing_estimators.Rcontains baseline estimators used in Chin (2019).proposed_estimators.Rconstructs the adjustment estimators from Chin (2019).variance_estimators.Rcomputes the estimated variance for the proposed estimators.precompute_matrices.Rcontains an intermediate function that estimates the matrices involved in the variance estimation.permutation_tests.Rcontains our implementation for the proposed interference tests
- The
plotsdirectory contains the code used to generate the plots in the thesis report. - The
simulations_final.Rdirectory contains all the scripts and config files used in simulations (run on the ETH Euler cluster)
The results_final directory is a placeholder for the simulation outputs, stored as .csv files.
