R: propensity score matching is available as part of the MatchIt, [7] [8] optmatch, [9] or other packages. SAS: The PSMatch procedure, and macro OneToManyMTCH match observations based on a propensity score. [10] Stata: several commands implement propensity score matching, [11] including the user-written psmatch2. [12]
[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.
This is the case for the example of college attendance: people are not randomly assigned to attend college. Rather, people may choose to attend college based on their financial situation, parents' education, and so on. Many statistical methods have been developed for causal inference, such as propensity score matching. These methods attempt to ...
The Heckman correction is a statistical technique to correct bias from non-randomly selected samples or otherwise incidentally truncated dependent variables, a pervasive issue in quantitative social sciences when using observational data. [1]

Two guys walk into a bar. The third one ducked. A photon goes to the airport. The ticket agent asks if there's any luggage to check. The photon replies, “No, I'm traveling light.”
The goal of a forecaster is to maximize the score and for the score to be as large as possible, and −0.22 is indeed larger than −1.6. If one treats the truth or falsity of the prediction as a variable x with value 1 or 0 respectively, and the expressed probability as p , then one can write the logarithmic scoring rule as x ln( p ) + (1 − ...
