This paper compares the inverse-probability-of-selection-weighting estimation principle with the matching principle and … derives conditions for weighting and matching to identify the same and the true distribution, respectively. This comparison …

Matching estimators are widely used in statistical data analysis. However, the distribution of matching estimators has … matching estimators. This representation allows the use of martingale limit theorems to derive the asymptotic distribution of … matching estimators. As an illustration of the applicability of the theory, we derive the asymptotic distribution of a matching …
