Matching in Re steps are involved, (i) creating a distance matrix, (ii) adding a propensity score caliper to the distance matrix, and (iii) finding an optimal match. One appendix contains a short introduction to R. A second appendix contains short R functions used to create distance matrices used in matching.

Flavor Superconductivity and Superfluidityl outcomes, and varied doses of treatment. An instrument is a relatively haphazard nudge towards acceptance of treatment where the nudge itself can affect the outcome only if it prompts acceptance of the treatment. Although competing theories structure design, opportunities, devices, and instruments are ingredients from which designs are built.

Causal Inference in Randomized Experiments for later chapters, much of the material in this chapter is quite old, dating from Sir Ronald Fisher’s work in the 1920s and 1930s, and it is likely to be familiar from other contexts, such as a course in the design of experiments.

The quality and strength of evidence provided by an observational study is determined largely by its design.

Shaokun Fan,Noyan Ilk,Kexin Zhaoduces two simple models for treatment assignment in observational studies. The first model is useful but naïve: it says that people who look comparable are comparable. The second model speaks to a central concern in observational studies: people who look comparable in the observed data may not actua

Flavor Superconductivity and Superfluidity? This topic, which is the focus of Part III of the book, is sketched in informal terms in the current chapter. An opportunity is an unusual setting in which there is less confounding with unobserved covariates than occurs in common settings. One opportunity may be the base on which one or more natu
