Wikipedia describes these steps in propensity score matching: 1.Run logistic regression: Dependent variable: Y = 1, if participate; Y = 0, otherwise. Choose appropriate conditioning (instrumental) variables. Obtain propensity score: predicted probability (p) or log[p/(1 − p)]. 2.Match each participant to one or more nonparticipants on propensity score: Nearest neighbor matching Caliper matching Mahalanobis metric matching in conjunction with PSM Stratification matching Difference-in-differences matching (kernel and local linear weights) 3.Multivariate analysis based on new sample Use analyses appropriate for non-independent matched samples So, yes PSPP could potentially be used to implement these steps, but you would have to understand these steps and be able to complete each one. OTOH, no, PSPP doesn't have a routine that will automatically perform all these steps. -Alan On 10/1/2013 4:37 PM, Suniya Farooqui
