There will be just 1 talk at this meetup. Thanks to Simple for hosting again!

Speaker: De'Mel Mojica

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.  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.
