Covariate balancing propensity score
The propensity score plays a central role in a variety of causal inference settings. In particular, matching and weighting methods based on the estimated propensity score have become increasingly common in the analysis of observational data. Despite their popularity and theoretical appeal, the main practical difficulty of these methods is that the propensity score must be estimated. Researchers...
متن کاملAn Application of Non-response Bias Reduction Using Propensity Score Methods
Normal distribution is widely used in many applications. The problem of testing whether observations come from a normal distribution has been studied extensively by many researchers. Our main goal in this article is to present a simple test procedure for testing multivariate normality.
متن کاملMatching on the Estimated Propensity Score
Propensity score matching estimators (Rosenbaum and Rubin, 1983) are widely used in evaluation research to estimate average treatment effects. In this article, we derive the large sample distribution of propensity score matching estimators. Our derivations take into account that the propensity score is itself estimated in a first step, prior to matching. We prove that first step estimation of t...
متن کاملAn Application of Non-response Bias Reduction Using Propensity Score Methods
In many statistical studies some units do not respond to a number or all of the questions. This situation causes a problem called non-response. Bias and variance inflation are two important consequences of non-response in surveys. Although increasing the sample size can prevented variance inflation, but cannot necessary adjust for the non-response bias. Therefore a number of methods ...
متن کاملHigh Dimensional Propensity Score Estimation via Covariate Balancing
In this paper, we address the problem of estimating the average treatment effect (ATE) and the average treatment effect for the treated (ATT) in observational studies when the number of potential confounders is possibly much greater than the sample size. In particular, we develop a robust method to estimate the propensity score via covariate balancing in high-dimensional settings. Since it is u...
