This PR introduces an iterative matching routine to avoid underestimating the VE when removing unvaccinated outcomes whose exposure times do not coincide with their vaccinated pair. Three main functions were added:
iterate_match(): Handles the main while loop to search for new pairs. It rematches the population separately, first removing vaccinated individuals and then removing unvaccinated individuals. The loop continues until there are no more matches to perform or a certain threshold is reached.rematch_(): Controls the re-matching of removed pairs. AtryCatchstatement is used to handle possible errors.capture_warnings(): Captures warning messages to handle tests and to report in the summary of the matching routine.By introducing these functions, the pipeline of
match_static()was changed. The iterative match is performed after the initial adjustment. The rowremovedwas also deprecated frommatch_summary().Necessary tests were built for all functions.
