Hi,
if I understand correctly, you just need to specify the cutpoints argument in the cem() function like on page 10 (bottom) of the pdf document you mention.
Usually the best thing to do is to write a simple reproducible example (R code + sample of data) so that we can help you to solve your problem.

Best regards
Stefano

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
