An Illustration and Discussion of Propensity Score Analysis to Correct for Selection Bias
Selection bias can result in treatment groups that are not similar in important respects. In fact, groups can differ even when assignments have been made in a random fashion. Propensity Score Analysis is a technique to correct for a large part of this bias. We give a brief discussion of the technique, and illustrate its use in a study involving tutoring remediation for at risk first grade children.
Audience:
This talk will be appropriate for students who have had Intro Stats and worked with statistics in their majors as well as interested faculty.
