optmatch (version 0.10.8)

effectiveSampleSize: Compute the effective sample size of a match.

Description

The effective sample size is the sum of the harmonic means of the number units in treatment and control for each matched group. For k matched pairs, the effective sample size is k. As matched groups become more unbalanced, the effective sample size decreases.

Usage

effectiveSampleSize(x, z = NULL)

# S3 method for factor effectiveSampleSize(x, z = NULL)

# S3 method for default effectiveSampleSize(x, z = NULL)

# S3 method for table effectiveSampleSize(x, z = NULL)

Value

The equivalent number of pairs in this match.

Arguments

x

An optmatch object, the result of fullmatch or pairmatch.

z

A treatment indicator, a vector the same length as match. This is only required if the match object does not contain the contrast.group' attribute.
