Combining Propensity Score Matching with Additional Adjustments for Prognostic Covariates
结合倾向得分匹配与预后协变量的额外调整
Propensity score matching refers to a class of multivariate methods used in comparative studies to construct treated and matched control samples that have similar distributions on many covariates. This matching is the observational study analog of randomization in ideal experiments, but is far less complete as it can only balance the distribution of observed covariates, whereas randomization balances the distribution of all covariates, both observed and unobserved.
