propensity score matching
Propensity score matching is a statistical technique used in research to balance the composition of treatment and control groups by estimating the likelihood, or propensity, of individuals receiving a specific treatment. It aims to match individuals from different groups who have similar propensities, which helps control for potential confounding variables and allows for more accurate causal inference in observational studies.
