Hope you all are fine.
I have a question regarding the matching process. I mean how to read the numbers of the balancing outcomes?
Here are the outcomes as a sample
Can I argue that my dataset is balanced or not?
Using the PSM it is clear to claim that all covariates are successfully matched. but with entropy I found it a bit confusing.
So, please could anyone give me a standard to calibrate these outcomes at any time
thank you in advance
