To test this method, they compared findings from the propensity score matching methodology to the random assignment findings in the four sites that had implemented random assignment.
Results obtained indicate that there is value in effectively matching methodologies to application domain.
The general approach taken in this paper was to use exact matching methodology to select a subsample of homogeneous records.
An experimental study was conducted to determine whether appropriately matching methodology type to the characteristics of the business application being developed resulted in more effective knowledge-work processes among team members.
In particular, these robustness checks are related to the definition of high-growth firms, the presence of systematic differences before the shock (pre-trends), the matching methodology and the inclusion of financial variables.
The results of the current study suggest that although the STROBE checklist includes recommendations for outlining the matching methodology when reporting a matched case-control study, these comprehensive epidemiologic guidelines may require an additional section that outlines the proper statistical techniques to be employed when conducting a matched case-control study.
Roth and a star Harvard graduate student, Parag Pathak, the son of Nepalese immigrants and now an MIT professor, adopted Roth's medical match methodology to streamline the New York system, working with another market expert, economist Atila Abdulkadiroglu, now at Duke.
In addition, data on the prevalence of diabetes in the pre- and post-PPNO populations were not optimal, but the impact was limited by the use of a more rigorous propensity score matching methodology.
The limited sample size for the Asian population responses means that matching methodologies, on age or other characteristics, were not possible Asian women in the general population reported significantly lower and therefore worse HRQoL on all SF-36 domains compared with their Caucasian counterparts (Table 4).
Information about matching methodology, donors, and recipients is not disclosed, either.
We used a matched sample methodology to create a control group which had the same median 3-year TSR as the 144 "AGAINST" companies from 2010-2012, or before the proxy advisor recommendations were published.
