Abstract: Covariate balance is a central concept in the potential outcomes literature. With selected populations or missing data, balance across treatment groups can be insufficient for estimating marginal treatment effects. Recently, a framework for using covariate… read more here.

Abstract: Adequate baseline covariate balance among groups is critical in observational studies designed to estimate causal effects. Propensity score-based methods are popular ways to achieve covariate balance among groups. Existing methods are not easily generalizable to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12874-021-01282-1
Abstract: Background Cardinality matching (CM), a novel matching technique, finds the largest matched sample meeting prespecified balance criteria thereby overcoming limitations of propensity score matching (PSM) associated with limited covariate overlap, which are especially pronounced in… read more here.
