In observational studies evaluating the treatment effect on a given outcome, the treated and untreated subjects may be highly unbalanced in their observed covariates, and these differences can lead to biased estimates of treatment effects. Propensity score is popular tool to reduce this bias. In this work we propose to estimate the propensity score by using Bayesian Networks as alternative to conventional logistic regression. Based on it, we develop an inferential methodology to evaluate the treatment effect. In simulation study, our proposed approach resulted in the best performance
