I posted this question on stats.stackexchange, here, but don't think the answers there are adequate . I am cross-posting que question her on StataList hoping the broader audience (epidemiologists, applied econometricians, econometricians, etc.. ) may be able to help.
##############Question #####################
Proper statistical procedure for repeated RCTs on the same group (without replacement)
Setting:
What is the correct statistical procedure to adopt here?
Is there a technical term for this sort of setting?
Any relevant literature I should look at?
##############Question #####################
Proper statistical procedure for repeated RCTs on the same group (without replacement)
Setting:
- Longitudinal data on outcome Yi,t of a group of individuals, i={1,...,N}, over time, t={1,...,T}
- On this gruop, a sequence of RCTs (r={1,...,R}) staggered over time is applied (with R< N).
- Each RCT is measuring the effect of a specific treatment and treats a small percentage of the population.
- Ence an individual is treated in a certain round (r=x) then he is no longer eligible for other future RCTs (rounds).
- Yi,t,r = ALPHAr*TREATEDi,r + BETAr(TREATEDi,r*I_POST_TREATMENTt,r)
- Yi,t = ALPHA*TREATEDi + BETA *(TREATEDi *I_POST_TREATMENTt)
What is the correct statistical procedure to adopt here?
