get.weights: Extract propensity score weights.

Description

Extracts propensity score weights from a ps or mnps object.

Usage

get.weights(ps1, stop.method = NULL, estimand = NULL, withSampW = TRUE)

Value

Returns a vector of weights.

Arguments

ps1

A ps or mnps object.

stop.method

Indicates which set of weights to retrieve from the ps object.

estimand

Indicates whether the weights are for the average treatment effect on the treated (ATT) or the average treatment effect on the population (ATE). By default, get.weights will use the estimand used to fit the ps object.

withSampW

Whether to return weights with sample weights multiplied in, if they were provided in the original ps or mnps call. Default: TRUE.

Details

Weights for ATT are 1 for the treatment cases and p/(1-p) for the control cases. Weights for ATE are 1/p for the treatment cases and 1/(1-p) for the control cases.
