Fast Bayesian Record Linkage With Record-Specific Disagreement Parameters
含记录特定不一致概率参数的快速贝叶斯记录链接
Researchers are often interested in linking individuals between two datasets that lack a common unique identifier. Matching procedures often struggle to match records with common names, birthplaces, or other field values. Computational feasibility is also a challenge, particularly when linking large datasets. We develop a Bayesian method for automated probabilistic record linkage and show it recovers more than 50% more true matches, holding accuracy constant, than comparable…
