๐Ÿงญ Roadmap: Future Expansions for the Stata Methods Repository

This repository already includes a comprehensive set of applied Stata scripts for survey, analysis, and evaluation workflows. Below are planned and proposed expansions to support more advanced or niche methods.


๐ŸŸก Planned for Addition

1. Stratified Block Randomization

  • Simulate block assignment in RCT design
  • Use Stata to stratify based on covariates and randomize within blocks
  • Useful for cluster trials and field experiments

๐Ÿ”ด Advanced/External Integration (Future)

2. Synthetic Control Methods

  • Often used in policy evaluation and comparative interrupted time series
  • Typically implemented in R (Synth, tidysynth) or Python (synthdid)
  • Goal: Document Stata-compatible approach or call out to R via integration

๐Ÿง  Other Ideas (Open for Contributions)

  • Regression Discontinuity with bandwidth diagnostics
  • Heterogeneous treatment models using grteffects, xteffects
  • Mixed methods integration (qualitative markers with outcome variables)
  • Export-ready dashboards or Markdown rendering pipelines
