R help - Oct 2020 - Question about the package "MatchIt"

Hi! I'm trying to perform propensity score matching on survey data and so
for each individual observation I have a statistical weight attached. My
question is: is there a way within the package to consider these weights in
the matching procedure?
Thank you very much.

I'm afraid it is difficult to help you based on the information you have
provided.

Could you please provide more information about your issue ?
A minimal reproducible code would be of great help to have a more
precise idea of the problem you are facing.


PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

Best regards,

Maria Cristina,

The MatchIt homepage at https://gking.harvard.edu/matchit has a link
to a mailing list specific to the package and it has searchable
archives. You will probably have better luck there than a general R
programming list. Though a quick perusal of the user guide at that
site makes me think the answer is probably "no."
