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>.
