The Propensity Score with Continuous Treatments
Much of the work on propensity score analysis has focused on the case where the treatment is binary. In this chapter we examine an extension to the propensity score method, in a setting with a continuous treatment. Following Rosenbaum and Rubin (1983) and most of the other literature on propensity score analysis, we make an unconfoundedness or ignorability assumption, that adjusting for differe...
متن کاملEvaluating health management programmes over time: application of propensity score-based weighting to longitudinal data.
Health management programmes are generally evaluated as point treatment studies in which only a baseline and outcome measurement are used in the analysis, even when multiple observations for each individual are available. By summarizing observations into two distinct measurements the evaluator loses any ability to discern patterns of change in the outcome variable over time in relation to the i...
متن کاملAdaptive Experimental Design Using the Propensity Score
Many social experiments are run in multiple waves, or are replications of earlier social experiments. In principle, the sampling design can be modified in later stages or replications to allow for more efficient estimation of causal effects. We consider the design of a two-stage experiment for estimating an average treatment effect, when covariate information is available for experimental subje...
متن کاملPropensity score based data analysis using nonrandom
For some time, propensity score based methods have been frequently applied in the analysis of data from observational studies. The propensity score is the conditional probability of a certain treatment or exposure given patient’s covariates. Propensity score methods are used to eliminate baseline imbalances in covariate distributions between treatment or exposure groups and permit to estimate m...
متن کاملImproving propensity score weighting using machine learning.
Machine learning techniques such as classification and regression trees (CART) have been suggested as promising alternatives to logistic regression for the estimation of propensity scores. The authors examined the performance of various CART-based propensity score models using simulated data. Hypothetical studies of varying sample sizes (n=500, 1000, 2000) with a binary exposure, continuous out...
