Title: Making Optimal Matching Size-Scalable Using Optimal Calipers
Version: 0.1.1
Author: Ruoqi Yu

Description: Implements optimal matching with near-fine balance in large observational studies with the use of optimal calipers to get a sparse network. The caliper is optimal in the sense that it is as small as possible such that a matching exists. The main functions in the bigmatch package are optcal() to find the optimal caliper and nfmatch() to find a near-fine balance match with a caliper.
