lalonde

lalonde_mis

One of the datasets used by Dehejia and Wahba in their paper "Causal Effects in Non-Experimental Studies: Reevaluating the Evaluation of Training Programs." Versions of this data set have been used as an example data set in MatchIt, twang, Matching, and CBPS. The data set <code>lalonde_mis</code> is the same but with some values missing (set to <code>NA</code>).

datasets

Generate balance tables and plots for covariates of groups preprocessed through matching, weighting or subclassification, for example, using propensity scores. Includes integration with 'MatchIt', 'twang', 'Matching', 'optmatch', 'CBPS', 'ebal', 'WeightIt', 'cem', 'sbw', and 'designmatch' for assessing balance on the output of their preprocessing functions. Users can also specify data for balance assessment not generated through the above packages. Also included are methods for assessing balance in clustered or multiply imputed data sets or data sets with longitudinal treatments.
