Optimization-Based Stable Balancing Weights

v2.0.1 · Mar 19, 2026 · GPL

Description

Use optimization to estimate weights that balance covariates for binary, multi-category, continuous, and multivariate treatments in the spirit of Zubizarreta (2015) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2015.1023805>. The degree of balance can be specified for each covariate. In addition, sampling weights can be estimated that allow a sample to generalize to a population specified with given target moments of covariates, as in matching-adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC).
