  <dc:title>Model-Averaged Propensity Scores Selected by Prognostic-Score
Balance</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package psAve version 1.0.1</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Constructs a model-averaged propensity score as a convex combination of
    candidate propensity score models, with mixing weights selected on a simplex grid
    to optimize covariate or prognostic-score balance, implementing the method of
    Kabata, Stuart and Shintani (2024) &lt;doi:10.1186/s12874-024-02350-y&gt;. Prognostic
    scores follow Hansen (2008) &lt;doi:10.1093/biomet/asn004&gt;: outcome models are fit on
    untreated units only. The resulting score is designed to be supplied directly to
    the matchit() function of 'MatchIt' as a distance measure or to the weightit()
    function of 'WeightIt' as a propensity score, with balance assessment via
    'cobalt'.</dc:description>
