Balancing Weights for Data-Fusion

Description

The fusion_ATE() function finds balancing weights for combining datasets to estimate the target population average treatment effect. This function requires complete individual-level data from both samples whereas the transport function only requires complete data from the study sample and covariate data from the target sample.

Usage

fusion_ATE(
  S,
  X,
  Y,
  Z,
  base_weights = NULL,
  optim_ctrl = list(maxit = 500, reltol = 1e-10),
  ...
)

Arguments

S

the binary vector of sample indicators.

X

the balance functions to be contrained.

Y

the observed responses.

Z

the binary treatment assignment.

base_weights

a vector of optional base weights with length equal to the number of rows in X.

optim_ctrl

a list of arguments that will be passed to optim().

...

additional arguments.
