addBalance	Add fine balance edges
addExclusion	Add exclusion edges
balanceCosts	Create a skeleton representation of the balance edge costs
build.dist.struct	An internal helper function that generates the data abstraction for the edge weights of the main network structure.
build.dist.struct_user	An internal helper function that generates the data abstraction for the edge weights of the main network structure using the distance matrix passed by the user.
callrelax	Call relax on the network
combine_dist	An internal helper function that combines two distance object
compareMatching	Generate covariate balance in different matches
