  1. a Weighted balance is based on diagnostic output produced by the kmatch module
  2. b Mean is the standard difference in means between weighted respondents and weighted non-respondents; standard difference is 0 when perfectly balanced. Standard difference in means is rounded to 3 significant digits
  3. c Ratio represents the ratio of variances of weighted non-respondents to variance of weighted respondents; ratio is 1 when perfectly balanced. Ratio of variances is rounded to 3 significant digits
  4. d Reports mean Years since residency with standard deviation in parentheses
