Propensity Score

The Propensity Score method builds a logistic regression model that can predict the probability of a person being given the treatment. It is denoted by p(x)

p(x)=P(T=1∣X=x)p(x)=P(T=1|X=x)p(x)=P(T=1∣X=x)

There are multiple sub-methods for Propensity scores:

  1. Propensity based stratification

  2. Propensity score matching

  3. Inverse Propensity Weighting
