perform_refinement: perform_refinement Performs refinement of matched sets,...

In PanelMatch: Matching Methods for Causal Inference with Time-Series Cross-Sectional Data

perform_refinement Performs refinement of matched sets, ultimately returning sets of treated observations and controls with weights. This function mostly acts as an intermediary between PanelMatch and lower level functions that do the dirty work of refinement. The function takes a lot of the same arguments as PanelMatch()

Description
