  Why:

  CURRENT

  What is _balance_? **_balance_ is a Python package** offering a simple workflow and methods for **dealing with biased data samples** when looking to infer from them to some population of interest. Biased samples often occur in survey statistics when respondents present non-response bias or survey suffers from sampling bias (that are not missing completely at random). A similar issue arises in observational studies when comparing the treated vs untreated groups, and in any data that suffers from selection bias.
