print.binary_match_structure

Prints a summary of a <code>binary_match_structure</code> object

Computes experimental designs for a
two-arm experiment with covariates via a number of methods:
(0) complete randomization and randomization with forced-balance,
(1) Greedily optimizing a
balance objective function via pairwise switching. This optimization
provides lower variance for the treatment effect estimator (and higher
power) while preserving a design that is close to complete randomization.
We return all iterations of the designs for use in a permutation test,
(2) The second is via numerical optimization
(via 'gurobi' which must be installed, see <https://www.gurobi.com/documentation/9.1/quickstart_windows/r_ins_the_r_package.html>)
a la Bertsimas and Kallus,
(3) rerandomization,
(4) Karp's method for one covariate,
(5) exhaustive enumeration to find the
optimal solution (only for small sample sizes),
(6) Binary pair matching using the 'nbpMatching' library,
(7) Binary pair matching plus design number (1) to further optimize balance,
(8) Binary pair matching plus design number (3) to further optimize balance,
(9) Hadamard designs,
(10) Simultaneous Multiple Kernels.
In (1-9) we allow for three objective functions:
Mahalanobis distance,
Sum of absolute differences standardized and
Kernel distances via the 'kernlab' library. This package is the result of a stream of research that can be found in
