Hello, CEM list:<div>I would like to use CEM with survey data. The sampling design is stratified with survey weights (1500 observations). I would like, if possible, to estimate population estimates (PATE and PATT).</div><div>
My questions:</div><div>1. Is it possible to get this estimations with CEM? (if yes, how?)</div><div>2. Can imbalance be used with survey data? (if yes, how?)</div><div>3. I see that, with CEM, the researcher must specify interactions. Exist any kind of advice on which interactions to include with CEM?</div>
<div>After the matching, I would like to test mediator effects (SEM with Mplus), using the CEM matched observations and weights (perhaps the weights to be used are a product of CEM weights and survey weights?), and the correct sampling design (stratified, on the subpopultation of matched cases?).</div>
<div>Thanking you in advance,</div><div>Fernando</div>
