Outcome weights method

Source: R/get_outcome_weights.R
get_outcome_weights.Rd

This is a generic method for getting outcome weights. It calculates the outcome weights for objects created by other packages. See get_outcome_weight.<compatible_fct> in the package documentation for compatible functions.

Usage

get_outcome_weights(object, ...)

Arguments

object

An object, obtained from other packages.

...

Additional arguments specific to object class implementations. See the documentation which object requires which additional arguments.

Value

A list of at least these components:

  • omega: matrix (number of point estimates x number of estimation units) of outcome weights

  • treat: the treatment indicator to make it compatible with the cobalt package
