A comparison of time-varying propensity score vs sequential stratification approaches to longitudinal matching with a time-varying treatment
Time-varying propensity scores have comparable performance to sequential stratification in terms of coverage, bias, and precision, with superior match completeness. While performance was generally comparable across methods, greater match completeness makes tvPS an attractive option for longitudinal matching studies where external validity is highly valued.
