Overview

About

Maintained by Katherine BrumbergFirst published 2023-10-232 releasesCRAN page ↗

Attain excellent covariate balance by matching two treated units and one control unit or vice versa within strata. Using such triples, as opposed to also allowing pairs of treated and control units, allows easier interpretation of the two possible weights of observations and better insensitivity to unmeasured bias in the test statistic. Using triples instead of matching in a fixed 1:2 or 2:1 ratio allows for the match to be feasible in more situations. The 'rrelaxiv' package, which provides an alternative solver for the underlying network flow problems, carries an academic license and is not available on CRAN, but may be downloaded from 'GitHub' at https://github.com/josherrickson/rrelaxiv/. The 'Gurobi' commercial optimization software is required to use the two functions [infsentrip()] and [triplesIP()]. These functions are not essential to the main purpose of this package. A free academic license can be obtained at https://www.gurobi.com/features/academic-named-user-license/. The 'gurobi' R package can then be installed following the instructions at https://www.gurobi.com/documentation/9.1/refman/ins_the_r_package.html.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("triplesmatch", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-triplesmatch

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-triplesmatch

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-triplesmatch

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
