Interpreting output from SAS CEM macro?

RobertWF1 — Fri, 14 Jan 2022 02:29:16 GMT

I'm running Gary King's CEM (Coarsened Exact Matching) macro (download here) in the SAS language for a case control study.

I'm using the following macro call format:

options source2;
%include "D:\Project_Files\Matched_Cohort_Study\CEM_SAS_Macro.sas";

%CEM (
lib = out,
dataset = analysis_data,
id = MEMBER_ID,
treat = A,
keep = X1 X2 X3,
del_miss = 0,
match_type = N,
method = "Sturges",
path_graph = D:\Project_Files\Matched_Cohort_Study\,
report = "on"
);

The macro runs without error, but I don't understand the output and there is little documentation to help.

Is there a matched output dataset I can use to estimate the average treatment effect on my outcome variable Y?

Thanks!

Yes, I'll have to contact Gary King.

I may try running the cem package for R, which is better documented and user friendly.
