The overview function provides a quick assessment of overall matching quality by reporting the N, mean, and s.d. of focal, matched, pool, and unmatched sets for all covariates as well as the propensity scores ('ps'). The mean and s.d. difference in focal - matched is also reported.
overview(x, digits = 2, ...)
# S4 method for class 'Matched,numeric_OR_missing'
overview(x, digits)Matched object
Integer indicating the number
of significant digits to be used. Negative
values are allowed (see ?signif).
Additional arguments.
A printed overview of matching quality.
(Internally) a MatchedOverview object.
Factor, character, or logical covariates are reported by N per set, rather than with mean and s.d.
