compare_matching: Generate covariate balance in different matches

In ShichaoHan/MultiObjMatch: Multi-objective Matching Algorithm

Generate covariate balance in different matches

Description

This is a wrapper function that the users can directly use for evaluating covariate balance accress different functions. The function calls compare_tables on the output from the function generate_balance_table.

Usage

compare_matching(
  matchingResult,
  covList = NULL,
  display_option = TRUE,
  stat = "mean.diff"
)

Arguments

matchingResult	an object returned by the main matching function distBalMatch
covList	(optional) factor of names of covariates that we want to evaluate covariate balance on; default is NULL. When set to Null, the program will compare the covariates that have been used to construct a propensity model
display_option	(optional) boolean value of whether to display all the matches; default is TRUE, where matches at each quantile is displayed
stat	(optional) character of the name of the statistic used for measuring covariate balance; default is "mean.diff". This argument is the same as used in "cobalt" package

Value

a dataframe that shows covariate balance in different matches
