Сводка	Machine Learning-Augmented Coarsened Exact Matching extends Coarsened Exact Matching (Iacus, King & Porro, 2012) by using supervised machine learning to automate and optimise the coarsening step — the discretisation of continuous covariates into bins — rather than relying on researcher-specified cutpoints. This reduces both ad hoc subjectivity in coarsening decisions and residual imbalance, while preserving CEM's core logic of exact matching within coarsened strata.	Coarsened Exact Matching is a preprocessing method that achieves covariate balance by temporarily coarsening continuous variables into bins, exactly matching treated and control units within those bins, and then discarding all unmatched units. Introduced by Iacus, King, and Porro (2011, 2012), it bounds imbalance on each covariate independently, yielding a matched sample on which any estimator can be applied without relying on a propensity score model.
