The Central Role of the Propensity Score in Sensitivity Analysis for Matched Observational Studies

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The propensity score, which was originally introduced in Rosenbaum and Rubin (1983), has been widely considered one of the most important concepts in the causal inference literature. This article briefly reviews some propensity score models involving both observed and unobserved covariates and discusses their applications in sensitivity analysis for matched observational studies.
