Hello PanelMatch team,

Thank you very much for this wonderful package. I have been enjoying learning and using this package a lot! With the hope that I want to understand and absorb this package deeper, I have several questions for you.

  1. When I use get_covariate_balance, I see a couple of negative numbers. If I understood correctly, get_covariate_balance returns the standardized mean difference of covariates. Shouldn't this be greater than 0? Could you please help me figure out what is the mistake I am making?

  2. I am hoping to execute sensitivity analysis after matching and analysis. Would you like to share any thoughts on using sensitivity analysis after PanelMatch, if there are any?

Thank you so much, looking forward to hearing from you!
