Hello all,
I am attempting to implement the coarsened exact matching technique
described in Iacus, King, and Porro (2011). The "treatment" in this
case has three categories. It is clear from section 5.1 of the paper
that this is not a problem for the technique generally. The question I
have is how to calculate the weights, or whether the weights are
strictly necessary. If anyone can you point me in the direction of
resources that might illuminate this issue I would be grateful.
Best,
Rose
