Rdplot implements several data-driven Regression Discontinuity (RD) plots, using either evenly-spaced or quantile-spaced partitioning.

There are also buttons to control how the family of graphs are displayed and title.Įvery option you choose will be displayed as a series of arguments in the Results window as well as in the Review window, so you can always use the menu to get a feel for the code and then edit the code directly in the Command window.Data-Driven Regression Discontinuity Plots Description Additionally, a series of checkboxes at the bottom allow you to create additional graphs not split by the specified variable. You can now split the graph by multiple variables. To activate this option check the Draw subgraphs for unique values of variables box. By offers you the ability to split your graph into multiple graphs according to some other variable. If you are feeling adventurous, the Region tab controls things like the inner and outer region of the graph. This includes things like the size of the graph, the name of the graph, the scale of the graph and even the aspect ratio of the graph. Overall controls the overall appearance of the graph. The two buttons, Organization/Appearance and Placement, control where the legend is located (placement) and how the legend looks (appearance), including giving it titles and subtitles. The Legend tab controls whether or not the legend appears. The Box puts a box around the title and Advanced controls justification and gap between the text. If you change your mind, these things are relatively easy to edit after the fact. Each title and title type has a Properties button to control the size, color, placement and other such things. The Titles tab controls titles for the graph. These options then repeat for the x-axis (under the X axis tab) Reference line allows you to choose specific points at which to draw a line through the graph, like at the mean, and to control the appearance of that line.
Use Accept to return to the original graph building screen.Īxis line and Axis scale properties are more of the same (but for the axis line and the scale). You can also choose whether or not to show gridlines. The major tick/label properties tab allows you to control the number of major tick marks, minimum and maximum values, their appearance, their color and whether or not they're labeled. The Advanced tab has justification options and finicky spacing options as well. The Properties button next to it allows you to things such as put a box around the title, select a color for the title and choose which way the title text will orient. Title determines the title that displays along the y axis. The Y axis tab contains, unsurprisingly, options pertaining to the y axis. For example 1-10 would only graph the first ten observations. The Use a range of observations checkbox selects cases based on their absolute number. The I f box takes an expression like var>6 which would exclude all cases who which var was less than six. Additional options, such as jittering the markers (staggering them via random spherical noise) which can be useful in cases where points would overlap severely and look like one rather than multiple points otherwise. Check the A dd labels to marker box to activate the marker label options. Below this are options to add labels at each point, which may be useful to you. The first, marker properties, allows you to choose a symbol for the points of the graph and a color and size for that symbol. Below the variables are two marker-related buttons. Now, since a scatterplot is the default, you need to select your x and y variables. In this instance, lets pretend we want to build a scatterplot-based graph. Twoway graph permits you to build any two-way graph. However, the tabs are common to most other graphs too. For the purposes of this tutorial, the most basic menu Graphics => Twoway graph will be used. This tutorial hopes to demystify that strange, fabulous world so that you use it to your advantage. When you use the Graphics menu in Stata to build your graphs, you are set adrift in a bewildering sea of tabs.
