Description: Supplements for a book, "iTOS" = "Introduction to the
        Theory of Observational Studies."  Data sets are 'aHDL' from
        Rosenbaum (2023a) <doi:10.1111/biom.13558> and 'bingeM' from
        Rosenbaum (2023b) <doi:10.1111/biom.13921>.  The function
        makematch() uses two-criteria matching from Zhang et al. (2023)
        <doi:10.1080/01621459.2021.1981337> to create the matched data
        'bingeM' from 'binge'.  The makematch() function also
        implements optimal matching (Rosenbaum (1989)
        <doi:10.2307/2290079>) and matching with fine or near-fine
        balance (Rosenbaum et al. (2007)
        <doi:10.1198/016214506000001059> and Yang et al (2012)
        <doi:10.1111/j.1541-0420.2011.01691.x>).  The book makes use of
        two other R packages, 'weightedRank' and 'tightenBlock'.
