Extract matched.set objects from PanelMatch results

Implements a set of methodological tools
that enable researchers to apply matching methods to
time-series cross-sectional data. Imai, Kim, and Wang
(2023) <http://web.mit.edu/insong/www/pdf/tscs.pdf>
proposes a nonparametric generalization of the
difference-in-differences estimator, which does not rely
on the linearity assumption as often done in
practice. Researchers first select a method of matching
each treated observation for a given unit in a
particular time period with control observations from
other units in the same time period that have a similar
treatment and covariate history. These methods include
standard matching methods based on propensity score and
Mahalanobis distance, as well as weighting methods. Once
matching and refinement is done,
treatment effects can be estimated with
standard errors. The package also offers diagnostics for researchers to assess the quality
of their results.
