Support for fuzzy vs. sharp regression discontinuity? #333

Closed JacobElder closed 1 month ago

JacobElder commented 1 month ago

I thought one additional useful feature could be allowing for the estimation of fuzzy vs. sharp RDDs.

Sharp RDD: Assignment or running variable completely determines treatment. A jump in the probability of treatment before and after cutoff point. Fuzzy RDD: Cutoff point increases the probability of treatment but doesn't completeley determines treatment.

Thanks for the issue @JacobElder. Going to close this as it's a duplicate of #221. But I'll add the link you've provided to that issue.

It would be a cool new addition. Do you feel like tackling it?
