Hello Everyone! I'm wondering if someone could help me with the code for matching a case-control population or point me in the direction of literature/existing code. We have a 122 cases and 85 controls (recruitment out of a cancer clinic). We would like assess two scenarios for matching to find the best fit for the dataset.
Matching variables:
-gender
-cotinine (+/- 100 pg)
-years_smoked (+/- 5 years) - (desired but likely won't be able to match with the third variable due to sample size).
Scenarios:
1. N 1:1
2. N 1:3 with repeated cases in the pool. We would like to keep the ratio favoring controls because the number of matches will be low to keep the power in check.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Erin
