Visser, Ronald A.; De Leeuw, Jan – Journal of Educational Statistics, 1984
The regression-discontinuity design (RDD) offers the possibility of making inferences about causal effects from observations on selected groups. Data from such a design are considered to have a truncated bivariate distribution. For the RDD, maximum likelihood parameter estimation procedures and tests of hypotheses are presented. (Author/BW)
