Visualizing the optimal rule as a function of infant weight in the PROBIT study:—unadjusted; – – linear adjustment; … PS adjusted; · – · IPW. For values of infant weight where the line lies above 0, breastfeeding is considered optimal (zero is indicated by the horizontal grey line). Rugplot along x-axis indicates the observed distribution of the tailoring variable in the sample. (a) Interval 1: breastfeeding between 0 and 3 months as a function of birthweight. (b) Interval 2: breastfeeding between 3 and 6 months as a function of 3-month weight.
