چکیده
|
The stata package ebalance implements entropy balancing,a multivariate reweighting method described in hainmueller (2012) that allows users to reweight a dataset such that the covariate distributions in the reweighted data satisfy a set of specified moment conditions. this can be useful to create balanced samples in observational studies with a binary treatment where the control group data can be reweighted to match the covariate moments in the treatment group. entropy balancing can also be used to reweight a survey sample to known characteristics from a target population.
