Could the WeightIt package please be added? It has multiple methods for weighting observations. Thanks! https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/WeightIt/index.html

@JamesAFarrell – @wjchulme has helpfully pointed out that this will only work with packages hosted on CRAN for the purposes of our image, will that still be of use to you?

Hi @ghickman and @wjchulme, I think so but not 100% sure.

My analysis is based on this example which only requires WeightIt and cobalt packages: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/cobalt/vignettes/cobalt.html#using-cobalt-with-multi-category-treatments

WeightIt::weightit(race ~ cov.mn, data = lalonde, method = "ps", use.mlogit = FALSE)

Thanks @JamesAFarrell, that sounds like it should be fine for this then.
