Optimization-Based Stable Balancing Weights
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>...
I recently updated my #Rstats package {optweight} for the first time in 6 years(!), and I want to give it the attention it deserves with an announcement and mini thread.
In short, {optweight} uses optimization to estimate balancing weights in observational studies.
