The Advantage of Waiting on the Confounders

The advantage of using this method is that you never have to condition on the confounders like all the other methods. There ther is an association between the comfonder and the treatment, which is why there is confounded plas. And as soon as you lak, they as not ofoundi. So the weights themselves are eliminated the confounding. The disadvantage of waiting is that if there are people in the data who are doing things that are not very common, then they will end up with very high waits,. That will increase t variaan and can create some some problence with the estimate not being stable. By waiting, we never condition. We just wait people.
