SPSS: A dialog box for Propensity Score Matching is available from the IBM SPSS Statistics menu (Data/Propensity Score Matching), and allows the user to set the match tolerance, randomize case order when drawing samples, prioritize exact matches, sample with or without replacement, set a random seed, and maximize performance by increasing ...
Matching is a statistical technique that evaluates the effect of a treatment by comparing the treated and the non-treated units in an observational study or quasi-experiment (i.e. when the treatment is not randomly assigned).
In statistics, the 68–95–99.7 rule, also known as the empirical rule, and sometimes abbreviated 3sr or 3 σ, is a shorthand used to remember the percentage of values that lie within an interval estimate in a normal distribution: approximately 68%, 95%, and 99.7% of the values lie within one, two, and three standard deviations of the mean ...
Fisher's exact test, based on the work of Ronald Fisher and E. J. G. Pitman in the 1930s, is exact because the sampling distribution (conditional on the marginals) is known exactly. This should be compared with Pearson's chi-squared test , which (although it tests the same null) is not exact because the distribution of the test statistic is ...
The 4 values in red are drawn from one distribution, and the 5 values in blue from another; we'd like to test whether the mean values of the two distributions are different. The hypothesis is that the mean of the first distribution is higher than the mean of the second; the null hypothesis is that both groups of samples are drawn from the same ...

Record linkage (also known as data matching, data linkage, entity resolution, and many other terms) is the task of finding records in a data set that refer to the same entity across different data sources (e.g., data files, books, websites, and databases).
Predictive mean matching (PMM) [1] is a widely used [2] statistical imputation method for missing values, first proposed by Donald B. Rubin in 1986 [3] and R. J. A. Little in 1988. [ 4 ] It aims to reduce the bias introduced in a dataset through imputation, by drawing real values sampled from the data. [ 5 ]
