Comment: Analyzing Propensity Score Matched Count Data [PDF]

The International Journal of Biostatistics, 2010
We offer an explanation to the simulation result of Austin (2009) regarding rate ratios, and argue that unmatched analysis of propensity score matched count data results in conservative statistical inferences on the rate ratios.

Propensity Score Matching Methods for Non-experimental Causal Studies [PDF]

Review of Economics and Statistics, 1998
This paper considers causal inference and sample selection bias in non-experimental settings in which: (i) few units in the non-experimental comparison group are comparable to the treatment units; and (ii) selecting a subset of comparison units similar to the treatment units is difficult because units must be compared across a high-dimensional set of ...

Statistical primer: propensity score matching and its alternatives† [PDF]

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2018
Propensity score (PS) methods offer certain advantages over more traditional regression methods to control for confounding by indication in observational studies. Although multivariable regression models adjust for confounders by modelling the relationship between covariates and outcome, the PS methods estimate the treatment effect by modelling the ...
