Summary of Parameters for Simulation Group 1. In each of the 4 scenarios considered, we generate data as follows: (1) C1,,C5~iidN(0,1); (2) X ~ Bernoulli(p = expit(Cαps)); and (3) Y ~ N(βX + Cαom, σ2) with β = 1 and σ2 = 4. All effects of confounders are linear on both the treatment and outcome.

Scenario Description αps (PS model) αom (Outcome model)
1 No confounding (0.4,0.3,0.2,0.1,0) (0,0,0,0,0)
2 Moderate confounding (0.5,0.5,0.1,0,0) (0.5,0,1,0.5,0)
3 Strong predictors of outcome,
weak predictors of treatment
(0.1,0.1,1,1,1) (2,2,0,0,0)
4 Strong confounding (0.5,0.4,0.3,0.2,0.1) (0.5,1,1.5,2,2.5)
