Re: st: Book on Propensity Scores

[Michael McCulloch <mm@pinestreetfoundation.org>]

Many Statalist members have asked for my Propensity Score  
bibliography. Stas Kolenikov has kindly offered to post the  
bibliography in Endnote format on his webpage (http://www.citeulike.org/users/ctacmo 
).

For those of you not using Endnote (www.endnote.com), it's a fabulous  
bibliography program, which allows the user to link any citation to  
its PUBMED page with one keystroke, where you can obtain full-text  
copies.

Or, you can simply browse the plain-text list which is copied here  
below, 165 citations beginning with Rosenbaum & Rubin's seminal 1983  
publication, which is still one of the best tutorials for those  
interested in learning this method.
Cheers,
Michael
