<p>There will be just 1 talk at this meetup. Thanks to Simple for hosting again!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Speaker: De'Mel Mojica</span></p>
<p><span><span>Propensity Score Matching (or “matching” as it’s commonly called) has gained in popularity among methodological circles with its rather parsimonious set of modeling assumptions and relative efficiency.</span><span> </span><span>This talk will briefly introduce users to the basic ideas behind its application; provide an overview of “Matchit” a popular R package that employs matching techniques to broad set data scenarios; and (if time allows) demonstrate its usefulness with a test case.</span><br></span></p>
