Abstract: Criteria based on the T-treatment’s posterior density, qT(t|x), provide conclusively a balancing-sufficient score, s, and the coarsest, c, for the treatments indexing the X-covariates’ unknown density. Strong ignorability of treatment assignment given s, allows using s and c for simultaneous comparisons of multiple treatments.
