Programming Language

Stata

Abstract

distmatch provides a fast and easy way to perform distance matching based on latitudes and longitudes. It matches location identifiers, attributes, or distances from one to another. It also counts the number of neighboring locations within a given area, either in circles or bands of concentric circles. Outputs produced by distmatch are typically used in studies of geocoded data. These outputs can also be produced by non-Stata softwares such as ArcGIS and ArcView.
