Methods and Examples from Introduction to the Theory of
Observational Studies
Description
Supplements for a book, "iTOS" = "Introduction to the Theory of Observational Studies." Data sets are 'aHDL' from Rosenbaum (2023a) and 'bingeM' from Rosenbaum (2023b) . The function makematch() uses two-criteria matching from Zhang et al. (2023) to create the matched data 'bingeM' from 'binge'. The makematch() function also implements optimal matching (Rosenbaum (1989) ) and matching with fine or near-fine balance (Rosenbaum et al. (2007) and Yang et al (2012) ). The book makes use of two other R packages, 'weightedRank' and 'tightenBlock'.
