Abstract

Given a treatment variable, a stratifying factor, and covariates, xbalance calculates standardized differences (biases) along each covariate, with and without the stratification. Also, tests for conditional independence of the treatment variable and the covariates within strata. Provides both stratified and unstratified analysis. This package requires installation of the -rsource- package (q.v.)
