Re-Weighting with WeightIt: A Comprehensive Guide for Balancing Instrumental Variable Two-Stage Least Squares Estimation of Treatment Effects
Re-Weighting with WeightIt: A Comprehensive Guide Introduction In this tutorial, we will explore how to re-weight a population using the WeightIt package in R. The WeightIt package is designed for instrumental variable (IV) two-stage least squares (2SLS) estimation of the treatment effect under weak exogeneity. We will build upon an example provided by Stack Overflow and demonstrate how to re-weight a population that was previously balanced using IV 2SLS. Background Instrumental Variable (IV) Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS) The WeightIt package is built around the concept of instrumental variable two-stage least squares (2SLS).
