ebalance: A Stata Package for Entropy Balancing

The Stata package ebalance implements entropy balancing, a multivariate reweighting method described in Hainmueller (2012 ) that allows users to reweight a dataset such that the covariate distributions in the reweighted data satisfy a set of specified moment conditions. This can be useful to crea...

Entropy balancing can also be used to reweight a survey sample to known characteristics from a target population.http://www.jstatsoft.org/index.php/jss/article/view/2087
