Sign-flip QTE synthetic DGP (v1.3.0)

Source: R/dgp-synth-qte1.R
dgp_synth_qte1_v130.Rd

Generates a synthetic DGP with treatment effect heterogeneity driven by a sign flip on X1: tau(X) = +1 if X1 > 0, else -1. Noise is Student-t with df = 4 scaled to sigma = 0.5 to induce heavier tails and heterogeneity in the QST curve.

Usage

dgp_synth_qte1_v130(n, seed = NULL, include_truth = TRUE, oracle_only = FALSE)

Arguments

n

Integer, number of observations.

seed

Optional seed for reproducibility (passed to cs_set_rng()).

include_truth

Logical; if TRUE, include oracle truth tables where supported.

oracle_only

Logical; if TRUE, return only columns needed for oracle truth generation where supported.

Value

A list with components df, true_att, true_qst, and meta following the synthetic DGP contract.

Details

Goal: Verify detection of distributional heterogeneity.

Structure: Same \(X\), \(\mu_0\), and \(p\) as synth_baseline.

Mechanism: \(\tau(X)\) flips sign based on \(X_1\):

  • \(\tau(X) = +1.0\) if \(X_1 > 0\).

  • \(\tau(X) = -1.0\) if \(X_1 \le 0\).

Noise: Student-t with \(df = 4\), scaled to \(\sigma = 0.5\).
