Method capability generics — method_capabilities • balancing

These generics let balance() interrogate a method specification without knowing its concrete class. Each balancing method supplies one method per generic.

Usage

supported_exposure_types(method, ...)

supported_estimands(method, exposure_type)

supports_estimating_equations(method, ...)

method_label(method, ...)

fit_method(method, prepared)

Arguments

method: A balance_method specification.
...: Additional context for supports_estimating_equations(), passed by name. Every method accepts both exposure_type and constraints and ignores whichever of the two its answer does not depend on, so one call shape puts the question to any method.
exposure_type: One of "binary", "categorical", or "continuous".

Value

supported_exposure_types() and supported_estimands() return character vectors; supports_estimating_equations() returns a single logical; method_label() returns a single string; fit_method() returns the internal solve result.
