Question about Dummy Outcome Refuter #1177

Closed xwbxxx closed 1 month ago

xwbxxx commented 1 month ago

In this chapter,Dummy Outcome Refuter: Testing for non-zero causal effect, you have achieved the intent and function of Simulated Outcome in your paper. image

However, when I checked source codes on the github, I didn't found any methods or attributes about this parameter outcome_function=linear_gen. Moreover, when I changed the return of the function def linear_gen(df) into a fixed value or even a string, the console didn't raise any errors.

I'm wondering if the new version (v0.11.1) has changed the form of parametersoutcome_function=linear_gen? Or if this feature about Simulated Outcome is not yet perfected?
