Why Propensity Scores Should Not Be Used for Matching
gking.harvard.edupreprocessing 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

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 ...

When estimating causal effects using observational data, it is de-sirable to replicate a randomized experiment as closely as possible by ob-taining treated and control groups with similar covariate distributions.

Causal-Comparative Designs
www.unm.edu• 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
