Details
Two demos are provided which use this dataset. The first,
DehejiaWahba, replicates one of the models from Dehejia and
Wahba (1999). The second demo, AbadieImbens, replicates the
models produced by Abadie and Imbens
http://elsa.berkeley.edu/~imbens/matlab/lalonde_exper_04feb2.m.
Many of these models are found to produce good balance for the Lalonde
data.
