In ngreifer/energybalance: Distribution Matching Using Energy Balancing

energybalance

energybalance implements energy balance, a method of estimating weights for distribution-matching that can be used in a variety of scenarios, including estimating treatment effects in observational studies, assessing generalizability and transportability, and mediation analysis. The method was originally described in Huling and Mak (2020).

The main function is energybalance(), which estimates a set of weights that serve different purposes depending on the inputs given. The wrappers eb_ate(), eb_att(), eb_target(), and eb_mediation() make estimating weights more straightforward for the specific purposes of estimating the ATE, the ATT, targeting a specific distribution, and performing mediation analysis, respectively. The functions edist() and edist_ate() compute the (weighted) energy distance between two groups.
