Bayesian Propensity Score Matching

Bayesian Propensity Score Matching (Bayesian PSM) extends classical propensity score matching by placing a prior distribution over the propensity model parameters and propagating posterior uncertainty through the matching and outcome stages. Introduced formally by Kaplan and Chen (2012), it offers a principled account of estimation uncertainty that frequentist matching commonly ignores, and allows incorporation of substantive prior knowledge about treatment selection.
