Hi Katherine, you can use fixed effects with relogit if you like.
Obtaining balance is a separate issue, which you can address with matchit
or cem

Dear Gary,
I hate to bother you with some questions, but I am having no luck getting
an answer from anyone else.
Friends are sending me articles that are supposed to answer my questions,
but they do not. I recently attended a talk you gave
At my school—Univ. of South Carolina. As with every other talk I have
heard from you, I was motivated to make a change and do things differently.
Unfortunately, I am stuck with some questions that no one seems able to
answer.
I do large N analysis of wars, where most observations are zeroes. Your
recent talk at USC was about matching and it sounded like RELogit had
multiple benefits, including creating a more balanced sample. My
understanding was the sample analyzed would consist of an equal number of
events and non-events. . I hope I have interpreted this correctly.
That is not the main reason for my email to you. I have been struggling
all week to try to figure out whether I really need to use Fixed or random
effects in my analysis. As you know, I cannot run them in the RELogit
program, but it seems like it is something reviewers want to see. I
wondered whether there is a reason you excluded them from your program—for
example, because you thought they were unnecessary with your program. I
know that it is still possible to use clustering, but that does not do the
exact same thing as fe and re.
I would appreciate any guidance about your thinking about
my using RELogit for my main analysis and not using fe or re.
Thank you in advance for your assistance. I really
appreciate it.
Best wishes,
Katherine Barbieri
