		Comparative Cohort Method with Large Scale Propensity and Outcome
		Models // Functions for performing comparative cohort studies
		in an observational database in the Observational Medical
		Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) Common Data Model. Can extract all
		necessary data from a database. This implements large-scale
		propensity scores (LSPS) as described in Tian et al. (2018)
		doi:10.1093/ije/dyy120, using a large set of covariates,
		including for example all drugs, diagnoses, procedures, as well
		as age, comorbidity indexes, etc. Large scale regularized
		regression is used to fit the propensity and outcome models as
		described in Suchard et al. (2013) doi:10.1145/2414416.2414791.
		Functions are included for trimming, stratifying, (variable and
		fixed ratio) matching and weighting by propensity scores, as
		well as diagnostic functions, such as propensity score
		distribution plots and plots showing covariate balance before
		and after matching and/or trimming. Supported outcome models
		are (conditional) logistic regression, (conditional) Poisson
		regression, and (stratified) Cox regression. Also included are
		Kaplan-Meier plots that can adjust for the stratification or
		matching.
