Why Propensity Scores Should Not Be Used for Matching

preprocessing data for causal inference, often accomplishes the opposite of its in-tended goal — thus increasing imbalance, inefficiency, model dependence, and bias. The weakness of PSM comes from its attempts to approximate a completely random-ized experiment, rather than, as with other matching methods, a more efficient fully

observational studies. They allow for the possibility of making causal inferences with observational data. Like propensity scores, IVs can adjust for both observed and unobserved confounding effects. Other methods of adjusting for confounding effects, which include stratification, matching and multiple regression methods, can only adjust for ...

Causal-Comparative Designs

• In a Causal-Comparative Study, the first step is to construct frequency polygons. • Means and SD are usually calculated if the variables involved are quantitative. • The most commonly used inference test is a t-test for differences between means. • Results should always be interpreted with caution since
