Caliper matching: comparison units within a certain width of the propensity score of the treated units get matched, where the width is generally a fraction of the standard deviation of the propensity score; Radius matching: all matches within a particular radius are used -- and reused between treatment units.
[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] A simple, easy-to-understand, and statistically powerful method of matching ...
Matching involves comparing program participants with non-participants based on observed selection characteristics. Propensity score matching (PSM) uses a statistical model to calculate the probability of participating on the basis of a set of observable characteristics and matches participants and non-participants with similar probability scores.
The propensity theory of probability is a probability interpretation in which the probability is thought of as a physical propensity, disposition, or tendency of a given type of situation to yield an outcome of a certain kind, or to yield a long-run relative frequency of such an outcome.

First, the balancing score (namely propensity score) matching method can be implemented for controlling the covariate balance. [2] Second, the difference-in-differences (DID) method with a parallel trend assumption (2 groups would show a parallel trend if neither of them experienced the treatment effect) is a useful method to reduce the impact ...
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 − ...
Probability matching is a decision strategy in which predictions of class membership are proportional to the class base rates.Thus, if in the training set positive examples are observed 60% of the time, and negative examples are observed 40% of the time, then the observer using a probability-matching strategy will predict (for unlabeled examples) a class label of "positive" on 60% of instances ...
