propensity score adjustment using R

I'm not quite sure what you mean. If all you need is propensity scores to run an IPW analysis, the fitted values should work. Having many binary covariates shouldn't be a problem, the whole point of the propensity score is boiling down many dimensions to a single one. I use matchit() for my psm needs, but it may not be so useful for IPW. Ben
Yes, for now that is all i need. I just wanted to know if fitted.values is all I need for IPW, because i was not sure how they were estimated by R. I know the pscore is boiling it down to one scalar, just said that in reply to Frank E Harrell advocating for covariate adjustment, because i thought he referred to all the covariates. Anyway, thx Ben, this helped a lot. Just wanted to use pscores apart from all the matching algorithm and so forth. So fitted.values are essentially the probabilities for inclusion ?
