Create Simple QINI Baseline Object — margot_qini_simple

Creates a simple baseline object that represents the expected gain under random treatment allocation. This serves as a robust fallback when maq fails to generate a baseline.

Usage

margot_qini_simple_baseline(
  mean_tau,
  n_points = 100,
  n_units = NULL,
  treatment_cost = 1,
  x_axis = "proportion"
)

Arguments

mean_tau: The average treatment effect (mean of tau_hat)
n_points: Number of points for the gain curve (default 100)
n_units: Total number of units (for metadata)
treatment_cost: Scalar treatment cost per unit (default 1)
x_axis: Type of x-axis: "proportion" (default) or "budget"

Value

A list mimicking maq output structure with: - _path: list with gain, spend, and std.err - mean_tau: the average treatment effect - treatment_cost: the treatment cost used - baseline_type: "simple" - class: "qini_simple_baseline"
