In order to use estimate Standard Errors with the Abadie and Imben's method the MatchIt object needs to have a model matrix. The model matrix is created based on the subclasses given by the full matching procedure.

Usage

add_model_matrix(fit)

## Not run: 
# library(MatchIt)
# data('lalonde')
# m.out  <- matchit(treat ~ educ + black, data = lalonde, method = 'full')
# att(obj = m.out, Y = lalonde$re78)
# abadie_imbens_se(m.out, lalonde$re78)  # FAILS!
# m.out <- add_model_matrix(m.out)
# abadie_imbens_se(m.out, lalonde$re78)
