Using Propensity Scores for Causal Inference: Pitfalls and Tips [PDF]
Methods based on propensity score (PS) have become increasingly popular as a tool for causal inference. A better understanding of the relative advantages and disadvantages of the alternative analytic approaches can contribute to the optimal choice and ...

Propensity scores as a novel method to guide sample allocation and minimize batch effects during the design of high throughput experiments [PDF]
Background We developed a novel approach to minimize batch effects when assigning samples to batches. Our algorithm selects a batch allocation, among all possible ways of assigning samples to batches, that minimizes differences in average propensity ...

Instability of estimation results based on caliper matching with propensity scores [PDF]
Caliper matching is often used to adjust for confounding biases in observational studies. This method with random order matching allows for the cherry-picking of the analysis results to suit the analyst's convenience.

A comparison of two methods of estimating propensity scores after multiple imputation
In many observational studies, analysts estimate treatment effects using propensity scores, e.g., by matching or sub classifying on the scores. When some values of the covariates are missing, analysts can use multiple imputation to fill in the missing ...

Estimating propensity scores with missing covariate data using general location mixture models
In many observational studies, researchers estimate causal effects using propensity scores, e.g., by matching or sub-classifying on the scores. Estimation of propensity scores is complicated when some values of the covariates aremissing.
