This function accepts a MatchIt object (i.e., the result of matchit function) , and calculates the overall standardized mean difference after subclassification. Note only subclassification result is applicable to this function. For other matching results except for exact matching, use compute_smd() instead. In addition, SMD can be calculated on the basis of the standard deviation of original treatment group, which is the formula used in matchit function, or on the basis of the simple pooled standard deviation of original treatment and control group. The default is sd = "pooled", but it can be switched to "treatment".
