"Unused arguments" error #6

Open burdonmark opened 4 years ago

burdonmark commented 4 years ago

Hello, When trying to replicate the example code , the balancing processes give errors from the "Mean Balancing" section onwards. Only the DID example seems to work.

Here is the first error:

mean balancing

out.mbal <- tjbal(roa ~ treat + so_portion + rev2007, data = npc,

  • index = c("gvkey","fyear"), kernel = FALSE, demean = FALSE,
  • bootstrap = TRUE, nboots = 20)

Seek balance on: roa2005, roa2006, roa2007, so_portion, rev2007

Optimization: Error in kbal(X = data[, matchvar], D = data[, D], method = method, sigma = sigma[i], : unused arguments (X = data[, matchvar], D = data[, D], method = method, sigma = sigma[i], linkernel = (1 - kernel))

Hi kbal has recently changed its syntax. I'm in the process of updating tjbal to keep up with kbal. Sorry about that.
