Overview

About

Maintained by Farhad PishgarFirst published 2019-10-109 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides essential tools for the pre-processing techniques of matching and weighting multiply imputed datasets. The package includes functions for matching within and across multiply imputed datasets using various methods, estimating weights for units in the imputed datasets using multiple weighting methods, calculating causal effect estimates in each matched or weighted dataset using parametric or non-parametric statistical models, and pooling the resulting estimates according to Rubin's rules (please see https://journal.r-project.org/archive/2021/RJ-2021-073/ for more details).

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("MatchThem", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("FarhadPishgar/MatchThem")

Development version from FarhadPishgar/MatchThem. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-matchthem

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-MatchThem

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-MatchThem

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
