Hi all, I have been using MatchIt with success to match datasets together, usually with
the "nearest" method. However I'm also running into situations where rather
than match one dataset to another I just want to match to a set of target criteria.
As a simple example I may want to match a group to targets such as - Male:100, Female:100,
CityA: 50, CityB: 100, CityC: 50.
Often this isn't possible and I simply want to get as close as possible while still
hitting the overall target (200 in above case for example).
Am I horribly over-thinking this? I've been experimenting with creating fake groups
to match to but it seems like I may be over complicating things.
Thanks in advance,
Eric
