In stata, i am using the coefplot package to try and plot one coefficient from multiple regressions in other words, there will be multiple coefficients, but each one comes from a different regression on the same plot here is code related to plotting same coefficient over time that accomplishes this when the coefficients have the same name in each regression. Then, the average value of the outcome variable can be computed for each bin. A standard way of graphing the data is to divide the assignment variabled here into a number of bins, making sure there are two separate bins on each side of the cutoff point to avoid having treated and untreated observations mixed together in the same bin. For example, we can use lm to predict sat scores based on perpupal expenditures.

Regression discontinuity design rdd is a quasiexperimental evaluation option that measures the impact of an intervention, or treatment, by applying a treatment assignment mechanism based on a continuous eligibility index which is a variable with a continuous distribution.
How can i do a scatterplot with regression line in stata. Within the causal inference framework, this design is considered among the most credible nonexperimental strategies because it relies on relatively weak and easy.

Regression discontinuity rd analysis is a rigorous nonexperimental1 approach that can be used to estimate program impacts in situations in which candidates are selected for treatment based on whether their value for a numeric rating exceeds a designated threshold or cutpoint. During the last decade, an increasing number of political scientists have turned to regressiondiscontinuity rd designs to estimate causal effects. In particular, their rdplot has eight different methods to select the optimal number of bins depending on the type of partitioning scheme and the spacing or polynomial regression estimators used.
