Bias and Variance Trade-Offs When Combining Propensity Score Weighting and Regression: With an Application to HIV Status and Homeless Men

There is a bias-variance tradeoff at work in propensity score estimation; every step toward better balance usually means an increase in variance and at some point a marginal decrease in bias may not be worth the associated increase in variance.
