Zusammenfassung	Dynamic Propensity Score Matching (DPSM) extends classic propensity score matching to settings where treatment is assigned repeatedly over time and earlier treatment choices influence later ones. It estimates the causal effect of entire treatment sequences or regime changes by constructing matched comparisons at each decision point using the full history of covariates and prior treatments.	A marginal structural model is a causal modeling framework designed to estimate the effect of a time-varying treatment in the presence of time-varying confounders that are themselves affected by prior treatment. By reweighting observations with inverse probability of treatment weights, MSMs create a pseudo-population in which confounding is eliminated, enabling unbiased estimation of causal treatment contrasts even when standard regression adjustments would fail.
