BINSREG

The binsreg package provides Python, R and Stata implementations of binscatter methods, including partition selection, point estimation, pointwise and uniform inference methods, and graphical procedures.

This work was supported in part by the National Science Foundation through grants SES-1947805, SES-2019432, and SES-2241575.

Major Upgrades

This package was first released in Winter 2019, and had one major upgrade in Summer 2021.

• Summer 2021 new features include: (i) generalized linear models (logit, Probit, etc.) binscatter; (ii) quantile regression binscatter; (iii) new generic specification and shape restriction hypothesis testing function (now including Lp metrics); (iv) multi-group comparison of binscatter estimators; (v) generic point evaluation of covariate-adjusted binscatter; (vi) speed improvements and optimization. A complete list of upgrades is here: UPGRADES
