Optimized Weighted Nearest Neighbours Matching Algorithm for Control Group Selection

An essential criterion for the proper implementation of case-control studies is selecting appropriate case and control groups. In this article, a new simulated annealing-based control group selection method is proposed, which solves the problem of selecting individuals in the control group as a dist...
