We consider the problem of estimating a high-dimensional covariance matrix from a small number of observations when covariates on pairs of variables are available and the variables can have spatial structure. This is motivated by the…

Variable-ratio matching is a flexible alternative to conventional $1$-to-$k$ matching for designing observational studies that emulate a target randomized controlled trial (RCT). To achieve fine balance -- that is, matching treated and…
