Calculate Effective Number of Clusters for a Linear Model

v0.8.0 · Mar 6, 2024 · MIT + file LICENSE

Description

Calculates the (approximate) effective number of clusters for a regression model, as described in Carter, Schnepel, and Steigerwald (2017) <doi:10.1162/REST_a_00639>. The effective number of clusters is a statistic to assess the reliability of asymptotic inference when sampling or treatment assignment is clustered. Methods are implemented for stats::lm(), plm::plm(), and fixest::feols(). There is also a formula method.
