Description

Session Goal

The session aimed to implement a matching algorithm for evaluating treatment effects using data preparation, linear assignment, and cost matrix construction techniques.

Key Activities

• Reviewed the matching algorithm process, including data preparation and treatment evaluation.
• Implemented steps for linear assignment using the Hungarian algorithm to match treated and control units.
• Constructed a cost matrix by handling missing values, calculating costs, and ensuring optimal assignment.

Achievements

• Successfully outlined and executed a structured approach for the matching algorithm.
• Ensured accurate evaluation of treatment effects through optimal data handling and assignment.

Pending Tasks

• Further testing and validation of the matching algorithm with diverse datasets to ensure robustness and accuracy in various scenarios.
