Some Methods of Propensity‐Score Matching had Superior Performance to Others: Results of an Empirical Investigation and Monte Carlo simulations

Propensity‐score matching is increasingly being used to reduce the impact of treatment‐selection bias when estimating causal treatment effects using observational data. Several propensity‐score matching methods are currently employed in the medical literature: matching on the logit of the propensity...
