Optimal Matching

Rather than downloading files from here, you are strongly advised to type the command

net from http://personalpages.manchester.ac.uk/staff/mark.lunt

into stata and download from there. This ensures that the correct files are downloaded to the correct places.


Match one or more controls to each of a set of cases, minimising the differences between cases and controls within each matched set. One-to-one matching, 1-k matching and k-1 matching are all available, and k may be the same for all sets, or may differ between sets.
This requires the packages {net search isvar:isvar} and {net search matcorr:matcorr} in order to function correctly. Use the above links to install them if it is not already installed.
