Yes, for now that is all i need. I just wanted to know if fitted.values is
all I need for IPW, because i was not sure how they were estimated by R. I
know the pscore is boiling it down to one scalar, just said that in reply to
Frank E Harrell advocating for covariate adjustment, because i thought he
referred to all the covariates. Anyway, thx Ben, this helped a lot. Just
wanted to use pscores apart from all the matching algorithm and so forth. 

So fitted.values are essentially the probabilities for inclusion ?
