Another approach would be to use the FUZZY
extension command. It is set up for a different structure, but it
includes the ability to specify a match tolerance for each variable or
to construct a custom difference measure. This requires the Python
Essentials available from the SPSS Community website (www.ibm.com/developerworks/spssdevcentral).

[SPSSX-L] Propensity
Score Matching Macro - Forced Matches

Dear all,
This is my first time posting. I have used the Propensity Score Matching
syntax & macro (by R.Levesque adapted by J.Painter). The macro seems
to
works out pretty well, but I had one question:
Does anyone know how to modify the syntax in order to force a match on
a
specific level of a variable (for example, force gender to be exact)? Thanks
so much.
Kind regards,
Aaron
