| Abstract:The purpose of this paper was to introduce how to combine the propensity score analysis to reasonably carry out multiple linear regression analysis. Firstly， it introduced 3 basic concepts related to the propensity score analysis. Secondly， it presented the core contents of the propensity score analysis， that was， three matching methods. Thirdly， through an epidemiological survey example， it gave the whole process of how to use SAS software for the analysis. The contents were as follows： ① for the original data set， test whether the difference of covariates between the treatment group and the control group was statistically significant； ② directly implement the multiple linear regression analysis for the original data set； ③ the propensity score analysis was used to generate the matched data set； ④ for the matched data set， test whether the difference of covariates between the treatment group and the control group was statistically significant； ⑤ a reasonable multiple linear regression analysis was used for the matched data set. |
