Dear Peter:

There is nothing special to program in propensity score models. You simply
use existing logistic regression ("glm" with logit or some other links)
software for a binary treatment variable, as a function of all covariates
that may possibly affect the assignement. In other words, you model
Pr(Z=1 | covariates), where Z=1 indicates treatment and Z=0 indicates
placebo or some other treatment.

Ravi.
