lalonde


This is a modified version of the Lalonde experimental dataset used for
explanatory purposes only.


Returns the subset of the data with the minimum imbalance for
every possible subset size (N - 1, N - 2, ...), down to the data set with the
minimum possible imbalance. Also includes tools for the estimation
of causal effects for each subset size, functions for visualization
and data export, and functions for calculating
model dependence as proposed by Athey and Imbens.
