Reproducibility of the BART p-Score #202
Comments
Hi, sorry for the issue! Reproducibility with BART is a bit of an annoying issue, but there are solutions. The main problem is that using the usual seed doesn't work for multi-threading, which BART uses by default. You have two options: supply a seed directly to the function that estimates the BART PS, or request single threading. This is explained in the documentation for |
Thanks for your help! This package includes a variety of algorithms for distance and matching, but there is no clear guidance on how to achieve reproducible results across different methods. Could we document the reproducibility aspects, as they are crucial for much of the work and research? |
Thanks for the suggestion. I agree we can do a better job of documenting reproducibility. Any potential reproducibility issue within |
We have identified bugs in the implementation of BART for estimating propensity scores with the matchit function, particularly in handling the seed for reproducibility. How should we create reproducible result with distance=bart for propensity score matching?
