In this post I will provide an intuitive and illustrated explanation of inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW), which is one of various propensity score (PS) methods. IPTW is an…
In this work, we introduce a debiased inverse propensity score weighting (DIPW) scheme for average treatment effect estimation that delivers \sqrt{n} \sqrt{n} -consistent estimates of the average treatment effect when the propensity score follows a sparse logistic regression model; the regression ...
Typically covariate adjustment is conducted using regression analysis, however recently, Inverse Probability of Treatment Weighting (IPTW) using the propensity score has been proposed as an alternative method. For a continuous outcome it has been shown that the IPTW estimator has the same large ...

Technically, a double robust estimation has two parts, an inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) section and an “augmentation” section. In the equation belowas explained by Jason Roy of the University of Pennsylvania,Yis the outcome, A is whether the individual received the treatment...
score in the calculation of the variance leads to the erroneous conclusion that the IPTW treatment effect estimator has the same variance as an unadjusted estimator; thus, it is important to use a variance estimator that correctly takes into account the estimation of the propensity score. The...
Propensity score and inverse weighting methods both attempt to achieve this goal. Inverse probability weighting is the method based on Horvitz and Thompson (1952) while propensity score is based on Rosenbaum and Rubin (1983). Because they are the most prevalent methods in longitudinal studies, ...
We engage in Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate the performance of inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) with 10 treatments, estimating the propensity scores using Generalized Boosted Models. We assess the performance of IPTW under three different scenarios representing treatment allocations,...
Inverse probability weighting is a widely used method in causal inference that relies on a propensity model to construct adjusted weights; whereas calibration is a common method used by survey statisticians to use constrained optimization to construct adjusted weights. This article reviews inv...
