title: 'rdrobust: Robust Data-Driven Statistical Inference in Regression-Discontinuity
  Designs'
version: 4.0.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.rdrobust
abstract: 'Regression-discontinuity (RD) designs are quasi-experimental research designs
  popular in social, behavioral and natural sciences. The RD design is usually employed
  to study the (local) causal effect of a treatment, intervention or policy. This
  package provides tools for data-driven graphical and analytical statistical inference
  in RD designs: rdrobust() to construct local-polynomial point estimators and robust
  confidence intervals for average treatment effects at the cutoff in Sharp, Fuzzy
  and Kink RD settings, rdbwselect() to perform bandwidth selection for the different
  procedures implemented, and rdplot() to conduct exploratory data analysis (RD plots).'
