Overview

About

Maintained by Bo Zhang7 releasesCRAN page ↗

Multivariate matching in observational studies typically has two goals: 1. to construct treated and control groups that have similar distribution of observed covariates and 2. to produce matched pairs or sets that are homogeneous in a few priority variables. This packages implements a network-flow-based method built around a tripartite graph that can simultaneously achieve both goals. The package also implements a template matching algorithm using a variant of the tripartite graph design. A brief description of the workflow and some examples are given in the vignette. A more elaborated tutorial can be found at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/359513837_Tutorial_for_R_Package_match2C.

Install

R (source archive)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/match2C/match2C_1.2.4.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "match2C_1.2.4.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (1.2.4) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

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-match2c

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

# 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-match2C

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