#' matched_set
#'
#' \code{matched_set} is a constructor for the \code{matched.set} class.
#'
#'
#' Users should never need to use this function by itself. See below for more about \code{matched.set} objects.
#'
#' @param matchedsets a list of treated units and matched control units. Each element in the list should be a vector of control unit ids.
#' @param id A vector containing the ids of treated units
#' @param t A vector containing the times of treatment for treated units.
#' @param L integer specifying the length of the lag window used in matching
#' @param t.var string specifying the time variable
#' @param id.var string specifying the unit id variable
#' @param treatment.var string specifying the treatment variable.
#'
#' The constructor function returns a \code{matched.set} object.
#' \code{matched.set} objects are a modified lists. Each element in the list is a vector of ids
#' corresponding to the control unit ids in a matched set.
#' Additionally, these vectors might have additional attributes -- "weights". These correspond to the
#' weights assigned to each control unit,
#' as determined by the specified refinement method.
#' Each element in the list also has a name, which corresponds to the unit id of the treated unit and time of treatment,
#' concatenated together and separated by a period. \code{matched.set} objects also have a number of
#' methods defined: \code{summary}, \code{plot}, and \code{`[`}. \code{matched.set} objects can be modified manually
#' as long as these conventions (and conventions about other attributes) are maintained. It is important to note that \code{matched.set} objects
#' are distinct from \code{PanelMatch} objects. \code{matched.set} objects are often contained within \code{PanelMatch} objects.
#' @return \code{matched.set} objects have additional attributes. These reflect the specified parameters when using the \code{PanelMatch} function:
#' \item{lag}{an integer value indicating the length of treatment history to be used for matching. Treated and control units are matched based on whether or not they have exactly matching treatment histories in the lag window.}
#' \item{t.var}{time variable name, represented as a character/string}
#' \item{id.var}{unit id variable name, represented as a character/string}
#' \item{treatment.var}{treatment variable name, represented as a character/string}
#' \item{class}{class of the object: should always be "matched.set"}
#' \item{refinement.method}{method used to refine and/or weight the control units in each set.}
#' \item{covs.formula}{One sided formula indicating which variables should be used for matching and refinement}
#' \item{match.missing}{Logical variable indicating whether or not units should be matched on the patterns of missingness in their treatment histories}
#' \item{max.match.size}{Maximum size of the matched sets after refinement. This argument only affects results when using a matching method}

#' @param object a \code{matched.set} object

#' Plot the distribution of the sizes of matched sets.
