Matching estimators for the effect of a treatment on survival times

DeLuna, Xavier; Johansson, Per - 2007

We perform inference on the effect of a treatment on survival times in studies where the treatment assignment is not randomized and the assignment time is not known in advance. We estimate survival functions on a treated and a control group which are made comparable through matching on observed...
