title: 'ebal: Entropy Reweighting to Create Balanced Samples'
version: 0.1-8
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.ebal
abstract: Package implements entropy balancing, a data preprocessing procedure described
  in Hainmueller (2008, <https://doi.org/10.1093/pan/mpr025>) that allows users to
  reweight a dataset such that the covariate distributions in the reweighted data
  satisfy a set of user specified moment conditions. This can be useful to create
  balanced samples in observational studies with a binary treatment where the control
  group data can be reweighted to match the covariate moments in the treatment group.
  Entropy balancing can also be used to reweight a survey sample to known characteristics
  from a target population.
