cem: Software for Coarsened Exact Matching
This program is designed to improve causal inference via a method of matching that is widely applicable in observational data and easy to understand and use (if you understand how to draw a histogram, you will understand this method). The program implements the coarsened exact matching (CEM) algorithm, described below. CEM may be used alone or in combination with any existing matching method. T...
متن کاملcem: Coarsened Exact Matching in Stata
This paper introduces a Stata implementation of Coarsened Exact Matching (CEM), a new method for improving the estimation of causal effects by reducing imbalance in covariates between treated and control groups. CEM is faster, easier to use and understand, requires fewer assumptions, more easily automated, and possesses more attractive statistical properties for many applications than existing ...
متن کاملCausal Inference Without Balance Checking: Coarsened Exact Matching
We discuss a method for improving causal inferences called ‘‘Coarsened Exact Matching’’ (CEM), and the new ‘‘Monotonic Imbalance Bounding’’ (MIB) class of matching methods from which CEM is derived. We summarize what is known about CEM and MIB, derive and illustrate several new desirable statistical properties of CEM, and then propose a variety of useful extensions. We show that CEM possesses a...
متن کاملImpact of sex in stroke thrombolysis: a coarsened exact matching study
BACKGROUND It is not established whether sex influences outcome and safety following intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in acute stroke. As a significant imbalance exists between the baseline conditions of women and men, regression analysis alone may be subject to bias. Here we aimed to overcome this methodical shortcoming by balancing both groups using coarsened exact matching (CEM) before evaluat...
متن کاملVitamin D Receptor Activator Use and Cause-specific Death among dialysis Patients: a Nationwide Cohort Study using Coarsened Exact Matching
Vitamin D receptor activators (VDRA) may exert pleiotropic effects on cardiovascular disease, malignancy, and infections among dialysis patients, but recent studies have mainly focused on cardiovascular outcomes. Among 8,675 patients who started dialysis in 2007 and who survived until January 1, 2010, listed in the Renal Data Registry of the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy, 5,365 VDRA use...
