สรุป	A panel data marginal structural model (MSM) uses inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) across multiple time periods to estimate the causal effect of a time-varying treatment, while appropriately adjusting for time-varying confounders that are themselves affected by prior treatment — a bias source that conventional regression cannot handle.	Inverse Probability Weighting is a causal-inference method that assigns each observation a weight equal to the inverse of its probability of receiving the treatment it actually received. Introduced by Robins, Hernán and Brumback (2000) for marginal structural models, it builds a pseudo-population in which treatment is independent of measured confounders, balancing selection bias.
