Table 1.

Results for the first simulation scenario using 1000 Monte Carlo data sets . E{Y* (gopt)} = 8.12. Ê(ĝopt) shows the Monte Carlo average and standard deviation of estimated values of the true E(ĝopt) using (1). E(ĝopt) shows the Monte Carlo average and standard deviation of values E{Y*(ĝopt)} obtained using 106 Monte Carlo simulations for each data set. PS correct and PS incorrect indicate whether the specified propensity score model is correct or not.
