arms.
Treatment Effects
Generate regression specifications for ATE estimation with proper standard error clustering and
covariate adjustments.
Heterogeneity Analysis
Build interaction models, subgroup analyses, and forest plots to explore treatment effect variation.
Attrition Analysis
Test for differential attrition, create attrition tables, and implement appropriate corrections.
Code Debugging
Paste error messages and get immediate solutions with explanations and corrected code.
Methodology Questions
Ask about best practices, appropriate statistical tests, assumptions, and research design choices.
Advanced Technology
Combining RAG architecture with domain expertise for intelligent assistance.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
Our system uses advanced RAG capabilities to retrieve relevant context from curated RCT literature
before generating responses. This ensures answers are grounded in established methodologies and best
practices rather than generic AI outputs.
Domain-Specific Knowledge Base
The assistant is powered by a carefully curated knowledge base including J-PAL resources, academic
papers, technical guides, and proven code examples from real RCT implementations.
Stata-First Code Generation
Purpose-built for Stata, the primary statistical software in impact evaluation. Generate
syntactically correct, well-commented code that follows Stata best practices and evaluation
standards.
Context-Aware Assistance
The system maintains conversation context, understanding your research design, variables, and
analytical goals to provide increasingly relevant and tailored assistance.
