Statistical
Software Packages


Synth: Synthetic Control Method


Synth is a statistical software package for R, Stata, and MATLAB that implements synthetic control methods for causal inference in comparative case studies as described in Abadie and Gardeazabal (2003)Abadie, Diamond, and Hainmueller(2010), and Abadie, Diamond, and Hainmueller (2011).


ebal: Entropy Balancing

ebal is a statistical software package for R and Stata that implements entropy balancing for causal effects as described in Hainmueller (2011).

KRLS: Kernel Regularized Least Squares

KRLS is a statistical software package for R that implements Kernel Regularized Least Squares (KRLS) as described in Hainmueller and Hazlett (2012). The method is designed to flexibly fit response surfaces of the form y=f(x) as they arise in regression and classification problems without relying on linearity, additivity, or other assumptions that use the columns of the predictor matrix X directly as basis functions.
