Propensity Scores in Cardiovascular Research [PDF]
Circulation, 2007 Propensity scores have been used to reduce bias in observational studies in many fields and are becoming more widely used in cardiovascular research.1 The goal of this statistical primer is to present the definition of propensity scores and to illustrate their use by describing some recent examples found in the cardiovascular disease research ...

ISOTONIC PROPENSITY SCORE MATCHING
Econometric TheoryWe propose a one-to-many matching estimator of the average treatment effect based on propensity scores estimated by isotonic regression. This approach is predicated on the assumption of monotonicity in the propensity score function, a condition that can be justified in many economic applications.

Propensity score analysis revisited
Annals of Clinical EpidemiologyPropensity score (PS) is the probability of the exposure being assigned, conditional on the observed baseline covariates. Many observational studies have used PS analyses to investigate the effects of exposure on outcomes. This report reviews the five steps of PS analyses: 1) calculating PS; 2) checking the overlap of PS; 3) implementing a matching or ...
