Subject: [cem] Matching for a continuous variable

Hello,

Using the example provided http://scholar.harvard.edu/files/gking/files/cem.pdf  I am not sure how to approach matching for continuous scores eg. An IQ score. Using my data sample and the automated method, it appears all matches are within about 8 score points. If we wanted to define the coarsening to about within 15 points (eg within 1 SD) how could I do this?

Thank you

Looking forward to the reply
