Dear Statalist Community,
I am testing the sensitivity of my propensity score matching analysis using Rosenbaum Bounds, I am yet struggling to interpret the results. Which one of the values actually shows whether the matching is sensitive to unobserved variables?
Your advice is much appreciated!
Best,
Felix
