- Original CRAN release version by Shu Yang (@shuyang1987) and Brian G Barkley (@BarkleyBG).
- Added
multiMatch()function to carry out all types of matching. This effectively combinesmultilevelGPSMatch()andmultilevelMatchX()into one function. Features include:- Better output:
- tidier estimates: see
estimateTau() - plus more information from under-the-hood: see the
impute_matobject for matrix off all imputed potential outcomes.
- tidier estimates: see
- Now allows for one-to-many matches for the main matching procedure (and imputing potential outomces). The user may specify
M_matches >=1. - Now allows for one-to-many matches to estimate the variance component. The user may specify
J_var_matches >=1. - Allowed for more user-specified arguments (for fitting PS models) i.e.
model_options
- Better output:
- Divergence: Using
multiMatch()withmatch_on='existing'does not always return the same results as usingmultilevelGPSMatch()for matching on the existing (user-specified) generalized propensity scores. - Added S3 methods for
printandsummaryfor themultiMatchclass - Added S3 methods for
printandsummaryfor themultiMatchclass - Users can apply the
estimateTrtModel()function before usingmultiMatch()to verify that the model fitted inmultiMatch()is the same as the user desires
- Original package version, released to GitHub by Shu Yang (@shuyang1987). See Release v0.1.0.
