cancer

This is a synthetically generated dataset containing metadata for healthy
individuals and patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer or adenomas. The
primary purpose of this dataset in the context of matching is to balance the
<code>status</code> groups across various covariates and achieve optimal matching
quality.

datasets

Implements the Vector Matching algorithm to match multiple
treatment groups based on previously estimated generalized propensity
scores. The package includes tools for visualizing initial confounder
imbalances, estimating treatment assignment probabilities using various
methods, defining the common support region, performing matching across
multiple groups, and evaluating matching quality. For more details, see
Lopez and Gutman (2017) <doi:10.1214/17-STS612>.
