R3D: Regression Discontinuity with Distributional Outcomes

The R3D package provides methods to estimate, infer, and visualize a new class of regression discontinuity designs where the outcome is a distribution rather than a single scalar. It includes:

• r3d: main estimation function

• r3d_bwselect: bandwidth selection

• r3d_bootstrap: multiplier bootstrap for uniform inference

• S3 methods: summary.r3d, plot.r3d, print.r3d
