Abstract:

The webinar introduces ATE, an R package for estimating the average treatment effects using calibration estimators. The webinar presents the theory of calibration estimators in the context of estimating the average treatment effect, including the treatment effect on the treated, treatment effect for multiple treatment arms and their corresponding variances.
The webinar also presents a hands-on tutorial demonstrating the ATE package. The tutorial will demonstrate how to install the ATE package, import and process data, and estimate the average treatment effects. Participants are encouraged to follow the tutorial using R (available at https://cloud.r-project.org/). A web-based instance of R can be also be used (https://rstudio.cloud).
