R help - Feb 2015 - P-value from Matching

Hi all,

When using the match command from the matching package, the output reports
the treatment effect, standard error, t-statistic and a p-value. Which test
is used to generate this p-value, or how us it generated?

Thanks,

Rob.

I would assume this information to be available via the references on the help
page for Match() (sic) in the Matching (sic) package.

Hi Peter,

That was my first port of call before I posted this thread. Unfortunately,
it does not seem to explicitly state which test is used or how the p-value
is calculated.

Thanks,

Rob.
