This is the Debian package of the GNU R package known as "MatchIt".
The upstream authors are:

Daniel Ho <deho@fas.harvard.edu>
Kosuke Imai <kimai@Princeton.Edu>
Gary King <king@harvard.edu>
Elizabeth Stuart <stuart@stat.harvard.edu>

This package was created by Chris Lawrence <lawrencc@debian.org>,
based on Dirk Eddelbuettel's packaging of r-cran-car.

The sources were downloaded from 
http://www.cran.mirrors.pair.com/src/contrib/

The package was renamed from its upstream name 'MatchIt' to
'r-other-gking-matchit' to fit the pattern of CRAN (and non-CRAN)
packages for R.
