Creating a Regression Discontinuity Plot with Binned Running Variable: A Practical Guide Using ggplot2
Introduction to Regression Discontinuity Analysis Regression discontinuity analysis is a statistical technique used to evaluate the causal effect of a treatment or intervention. It is based on the idea that if an individual’s treatment status is determined by a continuous variable, then assigning treatment to individuals at the cutoff value of this variable will produce similar outcomes for those who are above and below the cutoff. The technique has been widely used in various fields such as economics, education, and healthcare.
