Muhtasari	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.	Doubly Robust Estimation, also called Augmented Inverse Probability Weighting (AIPW), is a semiparametric method for estimating causal treatment effects that combines an outcome regression model with a propensity (treatment) model. Developed in the work of Robins & Rotnitzky (1995) and Bang & Robins (2005), it stays consistent as long as at least one of the two models is correctly specified.
