Cutting Feedback in Bayesian Regression Adjustment for the Propensity Score [PDF]

The International Journal of Biostatistics, 2010
McCandless, Gustafson and Austin (2009) describe a Bayesian approach to regression adjustment for the propensity score to reduce confounding. A unique property of the method is that the treatment and outcome models are combined via Bayes theorem. However, this estimation procedure can be problematic if the outcome model is misspecified.

Propensity score adjustment with several follow-ups

Biometrika, 2014
Summary: Propensity score weighting adjustment is commonly used to handle unit nonresponse. When the response mechanism is nonignorable in the sense that the response probability depends directly on the study variable, a follow-up sample is commonly used to obtain an unbiased estimator using the framework of two-phase sampling, where the follow-up ...

Targeting Uric Acid and the Inhibition of Progression to End-Stage Renal Disease--A Propensity Score Analysis.

PLoS ONE, 2015
BackgroundThe role of uric acid (UA) in the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains controversial due to the unavoidable cause and result relationship. This study was aimed to clarify the independent impact of UA on the subsequent risk of end-
