Value

matched.set object with refined matched sets.

Arguments

msets
global.data: data.frame. needs to be fully prepped/parsed data set that is internally balanced, full of NAs likely
treated.ts: vector of the times of treatment for treated observations
treated.ids: vector of unit identifiers of treated observations
lag
time.id: string specifying
unit.id
lead: vector of lead values
refinement.method: string specifying refinement method
treatment: string specifying treatment variable
size.match: maximum number of units to give non-zero weight to when using matching refinement method
match.missing: logical. indicates whether or not to allow the package to match units on missingness in treatment history
covs.formula: see PanelMatch documentation for descriptions
verbose: see PanelMatch documentation for descriptions
outcome.var: string specifying outcome variable
e.sets: empty sets (treated observations with no matched controls)
use.diag.covmat: see PanelMatch documentation for descriptions
