Target estimands

Average Treatment Effect (ATE)

wATE=Zipi+1Zi1pi

Target estimands

Average Treatment Effect Among the Treated (ATT)

wATT=piZipi+pi(1Zi)1pi

5 / 14

Target estimands

Average Treatment Effect Among the Treated (ATT)

wATT=piZipi+pi(1Zi)1pi

Average Treatment Effect Among the Controls (ATC)

wATC=(1pi)Zipi+(1pi)(1Zi)(1pi)

Target estimands

Average Treatment Effect Among the Evenly Matchable (ATM)

wATM=min{pi,1pi}zipi+(1Zi)(1pi)

Target estimands

Average Treatment Effect Among the Evenly Matchable (ATM)

wATM=min{pi,1pi}zipi+(1Zi)(1pi)

Average Treatment Effect Among the Overlap Population

wATO=(1pi)Zi+pi(1Zi)

  • Average Treatment Effect (ATE)
    • wATE=Zipi+1Zi1pi
df <- propensity_model %>%
augment(type.predict = "response", data = nhefs_complete) %>%
mutate(w_ate = (qsmk / .fitted) + ((1 - qsmk) / (1 - .fitted)))

Your Turn

05:00
  1. Using the propensity scores you created in the previous exercise, add the ATE weights to your data frame df

  2. Stretch: Using the same propensity scores, create ATT weights
