Jeff Smith has very useful comments in this 2010 post: http://econjeff.blogspot.com/2010/10/on-matching.html, Especially liked this “There is also a third tribe, which I think of as the “benevolent deity” tribe. Yes, in principle matching and regression are the same thing, give or take a weighting scheme. Depends on your point of departure. Combine that with the larger set of choices to exploit when matching (calipers, 1-to-1 or k-to-1, etc.) that can be manipulated for data-mining. We talk about “pruning” in matching but really we should talk about “extrapolating” in regression. Results and Data: 2020 Main Residency Match (PDF, 128 pages) This report contains statistical tables and graphs for the Main Residency Match ® and lists by state and sponsoring institution every participating program, the number of positions offered, and the number filled. Mike: “When matching, you’re still choosing the set of covariates to match on and there’s nothing stopping you from trying a different set if you don’t like the results. Comparing “like with like” in the context of a theory or DAG. Further, the variation in estimates across matches is greater than across regression models. estimate the difference between two or more groups. Yet regression adds choices re functional form restrictions for the outcome equation that are not available in pure matching. weights.Tr A vector of weights for the treated observations. Does anyone know of a good article that I could use to convince a group that they should use matching and regression? The caliper radius is calculated as c =a (σ +σ2 )/2 =a×SIGMA 2 2 1 where a is a user-specified coefficient, 2. σ 1 is the sample variance of q(x) for the treatment group, and 2. σ. Statistical Matching: Theory and Practice introduces the basics of statistical matching, before going on to offer a detailed, up-to-date overview of the methods used and an examination of their practical applications. The intermediate balancing step is irrelevant. The intermediate balancing step is irrelevant.”. Presents a unified framework for both theoretical and practical aspects of statistical matching. (typically we understand the world by layering more assumptions no less, so I see the progression from matching to extrapolation). 2is the sample variance of q(x) for the control group. This is where I think matching is useful, specially for pedagogy. I’ve looked around a bit and seen that there is a huge literature on how to do matching well, but rather little providing guidance on when matching is or is not a good choice. Granted, if the person doing an analysis is not a statistician, matching is a relatively safe approach — but people who are not statisticians should no more be performing analyses than statisticians should be performing surgeries. In the basic statistical matching framework, there are two data sources Aand Bsharing a set of variables X while the variable Y is available only in Aand the variable Z is observed just in B. To quote Rosenbaum: “An observational study that begins by examining outcomes is a formless, undisciplined investigation that lacks design” (Design of Observational Studies, p. ix). Propensity score matching is a statistical matching technique that attempts to estimate the effect of a treatment (e.g., intervention) by accounting for the factors that predict whether an individual would be eligble for receiving the treatment.The wikipedia page provides a good example setting: Say we are interested in the effects of smoking on health. Follow the flow chart and click on the links to find the most appropriate statistical analysis for your situation. Matching algorithms are algorithms used to solve graph matching problems in graph theory. They can be used to: determine whether a predictor variable has a statistically significant relationship with an outcome variable. You identify ‘attributes’ that are unlikely to change. 1. Are there more choices to exploit? In the example we will use the following data: The treated cases are coded 1, the controls are coded 0. Other than that I like matching for its emphasis on design but agree with Andrew re doing both. […] let me emphasize, following Rubin (1970), that it’s not matching or regression, it’s matching and regression (see also […], Statistical Modeling, Causal Inference, and Social Science. Moreover, I think some scholars strain the point that matching lets you compare “like with like,” forgetting that this is only true with respect to the chosen covariates. The CROS Portal is dedicated to the collaboration between researchers and Official Statisticians in Europe and beyond. That’s always been my experience. My point is simply that the latter gives one more opportunity for manipulation since it provides more choices. 2. Ultimately, statistical learning is a fundamental ingredient in the training of a modern data scientist. This tribe has a lot of members”. I think the crucial take-away is the essential similarity of M+R and regression alone.
