Natalie Koziol, CYFS research assistant professor, will conduct the first presentation of the Spring 2020 Methodology Applications Series.

This presentation will provide an introduction to propensity score analysis — a broad collection of methods that aims to statistically equate two or more groups on a set of observed covariates as a means for minimizing selection bias — with emphasis on propensity score matching, sub-classification and weighting.

Empirical examples will be provided to demonstrate the methods’ practical application.
