Re: st: Propensity score matching: confidence intervals

[Nyasha Tirivayi <ntirivayi@gmail.com>]

Thanks Ariel

Last time I checked it was not possible to add robust option in the
logit regression. When I add the bootstrap option, I get confidence
ntervals and a  z-stat. Yet I thought the t-stat was the important
indicator of significance. So  which one should I take? If I choose
the t-stat are you recommending manual calculation?

Kindly advise
