Implements the doubly robust distribution balancing weighting proposed by Katsumata (2024) doi:10.1017/psrm.2024.23, which improves the augmented inverse probability weighting (AIPW) by estimating propensity scores with estimating equations suitable for the pre-specified parameter of interest (e.g., the average treatment effects or the average treatment effects on the treated) and estimating outcome models with the estimated inverse probability weights. It also implements the covariate balancing propensity score proposed by Imai and Ratkovic (2014) doi:10.1111/rssb.12027 and the entropy balancing weighting proposed by Hainmueller (2012) doi:10.1093/pan/mpr025, both of which use covariate balancing conditions in propensity score estimation. The point estimate of the parameter of interest and its uncertainty as well as coefficients for propensity score estimation and outcome regression are produced using the M-estimation. The same functions can be used to estimate average outcomes in missing outcome cases.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("dbw", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("hirotokatsumata/dbw")

Development version from hirotokatsumata/dbw. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-dbw

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-dbw

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-dbw

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
