R package to implement aggregation trees, a nonparametric approach to discovering heterogeneous subgroups in a selection-on-observables framework.
aggTrees allows researchers to assess whether there
exists relevant heterogeneity in treatment effects by generating a
sequence of optimal groupings, one for each level of granularity. For
each grouping, we obtain point estimation and inference about the group
average treatment effects. Please reference the use as Di Francesco (2022).
To get started, please check the online short tutorial.
The package can be downloaded from CRAN:
install.packages("aggTrees")Alternatively, the current development version of the package can be
installed using the devtools package:
