# CBPS: Covariate Balancing Propensity Score [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/kosukeimai/CBPS.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/kosukeimai/CBPS)

Implements the covariate balancing propensity score (CBPS) proposed by
[Imai and Ratkovic (2014)]( https://doi.org/10.1111/rssb.12027). The propensity
[Imai and Ratkovic (2014)](https://doi.org/10.1111/rssb.12027). The propensity
score is estimated such that it maximizes the resulting covariate
balance as well as the prediction of treatment assignment. The method,
therefore, avoids an iteration between model fitting and balance
checking. The package also implements several extensions of the CBPS
beyond the cross-sectional, binary treatment setting. The current
version implements the CBPS for longitudinal settings so that it can
be used in conjunction with marginal structural models from [Imai and
Ratkovic (2015)](DOI:10.1080/01621459.2014.956872), treatments with
Ratkovic (2015)](https://doi.org/10.1080/01621459.2014.956872), treatments with
three- and four-valued treatment variables, continuous-valued
treatments from [Fong, Hazlett, and Imai (2015)]
