Abstract:

The method of propensity scoring adjustment is commonly used to handle selection bias in many applications, including unit nonresponse and undercoverage in sample surveys. The propensity score is computed using auxiliary variables observed throughout the sample. We discuss some asymptotic properties of the propensity score adjustment estimator and derive an optimal propensity score estimator. The proposed optimal estimator is closely related with the prediction estimator based on an unconditional exponential tilting model. Variance estimation is discussed and the results from two simulation studies are presented.
