  <dc:description>Selects matched samples of the original treated and
    control groups with similar covariate distributions -- can be
    used to match exactly on covariates, to match on propensity
    scores, or perform a variety of other matching procedures.  The
    package also implements a series of recommendations offered in
    Ho, Imai, King, and Stuart (2007) &lt;DOI:10.1093/pan/mpl013&gt;. (The 
    'gurobi' package, which is not on CRAN, is optional and comes with 
    an installation of the Gurobi Optimizer, available at 
    &lt;https://www.gurobi.com&gt;.)</dc:description>
