Description: Generates weights to form equivalent groups in observational studies with point or longitudinal treatments by easing and extending the functionality of the R packages 'twang' for generalized boosted modeling (McCaffrey, Ridgeway & Morral, 2004) <doi:10.1037/1082-989X.9.4.403>, 'CBPS' for covariate balancing propensity score weighting (Imai & Ratkovic, 2014) <doi:10.1111/rssb.12027>, 'ebal' for entropy balancing (Hainmueller, 2012) <doi:10.1093/pan/mpr025>, 'optweight' for optimization-based weights (Zubizarreta, 2015) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2015.1023805>, 'ATE' for empirical balancing calibration weighting (Chan, Yam, & Zhang, 2016) <doi:10.1111/rssb.12129>, 'SuperLearner' for stacked machine learning-based propensity scores (Pirracchio, Petersen, & van der Laan, 2015) <doi:10.1093/aje/kwu253>, among others. Also allows for assessment of weights and checking of covariate balance by interfacing directly with 'cobalt'.

Description: Generates balancing weights for causal effect estimation in observational studies with
binary, multi-category, or continuous point or longitudinal treatments by easing and
extending the functionality of several R packages and providing in-house estimation methods.
Available methods include propensity score weighting using generalized linear models, gradient
boosting machines, the covariate balancing propensity score algorithm, Bayesian additive regression trees, and
SuperLearner, and directly estimating balancing weights using entropy balancing, empirical
balancing calibration weights, energy balancing, and optimization-based weights. Also
allows for assessment of weights and checking of covariate balance by interfacing directly
with the 'cobalt' package. See the vignette "Installing Supporting Packages" for instructions on how
to install any package 'WeightIt' uses, including those that may not be on CRAN.
