R-FLAME is an R package for performing matching for observational causal inference on datasets containing discrete covariates. It implements the Fast, Large-Scale Almost Matching Exactly (FLAME) algorithm, which matches treatment and control units on subsets of the covariates. The resulting matched groups are interpretable, because the matches are made on covariates, and high-quality, because machine learning is used to determine which covariates are important to match on.
