We focus on multicriteria preference elicitation by matching. In this widely employed task, the decision maker (DM) is … that she is indifferent between the two options. A reverse matching, which is normatively equivalent, can be created by … option a. Such a procedure is called a bi-matching. Consistency requires that isopreferences resulting from the forward and …

We describe a model of multi-trait matching and inheritance in which individuals’ attractiveness in the marriage market …

incorporating matching as a way to ensure sub-sample homogeneity. Thus, we match second-generation immigrants to their ethnic Danish … twins on the basis of parental characteristics and informal network quality.

This paper examines how including latent variables can benefit propensity score matching. Latent variables can be … estimated from the observed manifest variables and used in matching. This paper demonstrates the benefits of such an approach by … comparing it with a method where the manifest variables are directly used in matching. Estimating the propensity score on the …

When nonrandom treatments occur across sites, within-site matching (WM) is often desirable. This approach, however, can … a matching approach developed by Stuart and Rubin to a multisite study. We demonstrate the proposed method through a …€™s conceptual appeal and indicate that two-stage matching is a viable alternative to strict WM or matching that ignores the nested …
