    Description

    The goal of this project will be to evaluate the sensitivity of results from 1:1 matched analyses related to comparator group sampling. As 1:1 propensity score matching is commonly used in Sentinel Level 2 analyses, it is critical to understand for future assessments using this tool whether the model-based confidence intervals obtained from the Propensity Score tool need to account for additional sources of variability. This project will adopt a plasmode-based simulation framework to examine the impact of accounting for additional sources of uncertainty in PS-matched analyses.
