I am puzzled by how PROC PSMATCH calculates the standardized mean differences for matched observations. According to the SAS document (https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/statug/15.2/statug_psmatch_details25.htm), the standardized deviation for matched observation is pooled (before matching) instead of the matched (after matching). Why does SAS use the before-matching standardized deviation to calculate the after-matching standardized mean differences? This question also applies to weighting.
