Propensity scores are used to reduce confounding by equating groups based on these covariates. Suppose that we have a binary treatment indicator Z, a response variable r, and background observed covariates X. The propensity score is defined as the conditional probability of treatment given background variables:
[1] [2] [3] Propensity score matching, an early matching technique, was developed as part of the Rubin causal model, [4] but has been shown to increase model dependence, bias, inefficiency, and power and is no longer recommended compared to other matching methods. [5]
An alternative estimator is the augmented inverse probability weighted estimator (AIPWE) combines both the properties of the regression based estimator and the inverse probability weighted estimator. It is therefore a 'doubly robust' method in that it only requires either the propensity or outcome model to be correctly specified but not both.
These may include methods such as post-stratification, raking, or propensity score (estimation) models - used to perform an adjustment of the sample to some known (or estimated) strata sizes. These adjustments can be in addition of design weights , which aims to account for imbalances due to some known sampling design.

The reason for this is two-fold: Without an instrument, identification relies on the functional form assumption that is typically considered very weak. [12] Furthermore, even if the assumption holds, the chosen function can be very close to a linear functional form in the area under investigation, causing a multicollinearity problem in the ...
