similar to: propensity score matching estimates?

Dear R-Users, I have a problem on extracting T-Stat and P-Value. I have written R-code below library("Matching") data("lalonde") attach(lalonde) names(lalonde) Y <- lalonde$re78 Tr <- lalonde$treat glm1 <- glm(Tr~age+educ+black+hisp+married+nodegr+re74+re75,family=binomial,data=lalonde) pscore.predicted <- predict(glm1) rr1 <-

Dear R users, I am trying to estimate to estimate the average treatmen effect on the treated (ATT) using first the MatchIt software to weight the data set and, after this, the Zelig software as shown in Ho et al. (2007). See here for an explanation of how to apply this technique in R: http://imai.princeton.edu/research/files/matchit.pdf I encounter a slight problem when I apply the weights that

Hi there, I'm wondering what Zelig in the following situation (code below) actually does. Is this considered as a so called regression adjustment after the propensity score matching? library(MatchIt) library(Zelig) data(lalonde) re78 represents the outcome variable 1. With Zelig m.out <- matchit(treat ~ age + educ + black + hispan + married + nodegree + re74 + re75, data = lalonde)

Dear all, Does anybody know why the following code returns an error message? >library(MatchIt) >library(Zelig) >data(lalonde) > >m.out1<-matchit(treat~age+educ+black+hispan+nodegree+married +re74+re75, method="full", data=lalonde) > >z.out1<-zelig(re78~age+educ+black+hispan+nodegree+married+re74+re75, data=match.data(m.out1, "control"),

Hi there, Does anyone know how to extract data from a function that prints out two or more summaries? In the function below (the whole code is provided) we get 5 different tables of data. I would like to split each of these tables in a separate file (while the function itself shouldn't be changed), so that further analysis on each data set could be carried out. Your help is deeply

"Matching" version 0.48 is now available on CRAN. Matching provides functions for estimating causal effects by multivariate and propensity score matching. The package includes a variety of univariate and multivariate tests to determine if balance has been obtained by the matching procedure. These tests can also be used to determine if an experiment or quasi-experiment is balanced on

Dear All, I would like to find something ( references, code,..) to implement a comparison of three treatments in an observational study using the 'Propensity Score'. Any help is much appreciated.

Dear R-list, i have 6 different sets of samples. Each sample has about 5000 observations, with each observation comprised of 150 baseline covariates (X), 125 of which are dichotomous. Roughly 20% of the observations in each sample are "treatment" and the rest are "control" units. i am doing propensity score matching, i have already estimated propensity scores(predicted

Dear All, My question is more a statistical question than a R question. The reason I am posting here is that there are lots of excellent statistician on this list, who can always give me good advices. Per my understanding, the purpose of propensity score is to reduce the bias while estimating the treatment effect and its implementation is a 2-stage model. 1) First of all, if we assume that T =

Hi all, i am looking to built a simple example of a very basic propensity score adjustment, just using the estimated propensity scores as inverse probability weights (respectively 1-estimated weights for the non-treated). As far as i understood, MLE predictions of a logit model can directly be used as to estimates of the propensity score. I already considered the twang package and the

There may be benefits to having a machine learning method that explicitly targets covariate balance. We have experimented with optimizing the weights directly to obtain the best covariate balance, but got some strange solutions for simple cases that made us wary of such methods. Machine learning methods that yield calibrated probability estimates should do well (e.g. those that optimize the

Dear List, I am having difficulty running the ps() function when variables are stored as factors and was hoping someone could provide some advice on how to proceed. I am running propensity score matching as outlined in: Greg Ridgeway, Dan McCarey, Andrew Morral, Lane Burgette and Beth Ann Grin (May 3, 2013) Toolkit for Weighting and Analysis of Nonequivalent Groups: A tutorial for the twang

Hi all, i am wondering if there?s any other method to adjust for selection related bias of estimates except propensity scoring and heckit / mills ratio approach? i also read documentation of Match and twang package so far, so i don?t speak of any ATE / ATT related methods, respectively any methods that match or stratify... Is there something else ? thx in advance

Hello all. I am doing one part of an evaluation of a mandatory welfare-to-work programme in the UK. As with all evaluations, the problem is to determine what would have happened if the initiative had not taken place. In our case, we have a number of pilot areas and no possibility of random assignment. Therefore we have been given control areas. My problem is to select for survey individuals in

This post is NOT a question, but an answer. For readers please disregard all earlier posts by myself about this question. I'm posting for two reasons. First to say thanks, especially to Dimitris, for suggesting the use of errorest in the ipred library. Second, so that the solution to this problem is in the archives in case it gets asked again. If one wants to run a k-fold cross-validation

I have a need to call and pass arguments to nlme() from within another function. I use R version 1.8. I have found an apparent way to make this work, but I would appreciate some comments on whether this fix is really appropriate, or there is another way to do it that does not involve changing the source code. I don't have enough experience to start changing the sorurce code of a library
