Causal inference

a multivariate matching method that uses an evolutionary search algorithm to find covariate weights that maximise balance between treated and control groups.

In causal inference, genetic matching refers to a multivariate matching method that uses an evolutionary search algorithm to find covariate weights that maximise balance between treated and control groups. This meaning comes from Diamond (2013) in Review of Economics and Statistics.[1]
