Clinical machine learning applications are often plagued with confounders that can impact the generalizability and predictive performance of the learners. Confounding is especially problematic in remote digital health studies where the participants self-select to enter the study, thereby making it challenging to balance the demographic characteristics of participants. One effective approach to combat confounding is to match samples with respect to the confounding variables in order to balance the data. This proced…
