Hi Ben, 

Can you send the original code that you ran to call cem? We've seen this error before but haven't been able to replicate it. 

Cheers,
Matt

Just trying you again…  (Matt & Ariel am trying your emails too)

 

Any idea why I would be getting such a high % of missing. 

 

In my dataset I have 30,473 cases where “cem_matched” ==1 (25,090 control, 5,383 treated).  Of those 14,245 have a “cem_strata” ==. (11,624 control, 2,621 treated). 

 

FYI, here is an output of the weights (cem1w) – treatment is pv, control is non-pv

Thanks for any help you might be able to offer.

Hi all,

 

I had been using a cem matching output to run regressions and have just now found that a large set of the output has the variable “cem_matched” ==1 while the “cem_strata” ==. (a.k.a. missing).  For those cases, there is also a weight stored in “cem_weights”.

 

Is this a common occurance?  If so, would you be able to explain when/why this occurs?
