Overview

About

Maintained by Yiqing XuFirst published 2018-04-2413 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Visualizes panel data. It has four main functionalities: (1) it plots the treatment status and missing values in a panel dataset; (2) it visualizes the temporal dynamics of a main variable of interest; (3) it depicts the bivariate relationships between a treatment variable and an outcome variable either by unit or in aggregate; (4) it displays the network structure of multi-way fixed effects as a k-partite graph, identifying connected components, singletons, and duplicate observations. For details, see doi:10.18637/jss.v107.i07.
