Toolkit to support Rubin causal modeling of observational data
TWANG, the Toolkit for Weighting and Analysis of Nonequivalent Groups, developed by the statistics group of the
RAND Corporation, contains a set of functions to support
Rubin causal modeling of
observational data through the estimation and evaluation of
propensity score weights by applying
gradient boosting. It has been applied in several studies.
