Directional Penalties for Optimal Matching in Observational Studies R package DiPs version 0.6.4 CRAN Task View: CausalInference (https://CRAN.R-project.org/view=CausalInference) Improves the balance of optimal matching with near-fine balance by giving penalties on the unbalanced covariates with the unbalanced directions. Many directional penalties can also be viewed as Lagrange multipliers, pushing a matched sample in the direction of satisfying a linear constraint that would not be satisfied without penalization.
