Accuracy of record linkage software in merging dental administrative data sets. [PDF]
AbstractObjective: To determine the accuracy of record matching using “Link King” software that uses an ordinal score for the certainty that linked records are valid matches.Methods: We linked records in North Carolina Medicaid files to public health surveillance files using Link King matching software.

Comparing record linkage software programs and algorithms using real-world data. [PDF]
Linkage of medical databases, including insurer claims and electronic health records (EHRs), is increasingly common. However, few studies have investigated the behavior and output of linkage software. To determine how linkage quality is affected by different algorithms, blocking variables, methods for string matching and weight determination, and ...

quickLD: An efficient software for linkage disequilibrium analyses [PDF]
AbstractSoftware tools for linkage disequilibrium (LD) analyses are designed to calculate LD among all genetic variants in a single region. Since compute and memory requirements grow quadratically with the distance between variants, using these tools for long‐range LD calculations leads to long execution times and increased allocation of memory ...

MapChart: Software for the Graphical Presentation of Linkage Maps and QTLs [PDF]
Over the last 15 years a wealth of linkage maps and quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping results have become available. The pace of generating this genetic information is accelerating owing to advances in molecular marker technology and the development of software for linkage analysis and QTL mapping.

Exploiting Persistent Linkage in Software Engineering Environments [PDF]
Persistent programming systems are designed to provide technology for the construction and maintenance of large, long-lived object-based application systems. Many successful prototypes have been constructed and a large body of application building experience is emerging.

A survey of current software for linkage analysis [PDF]
There is now a wide choice of software available for linkage analysis. The most well known packages are briefly reviewed here. The package with the most extensive range of analyses is GENEHUNTER, but for many of its functions there are other programs with better performance.

Optimization of the Mainzelliste software for fast privacy-preserving record linkage [PDF]
Abstract Background Data analysis for biomedical research often requires a record linkage step to identify records from multiple data sources referring to the same person. Due to the lack of unique personal identifiers across these sources, record linkage relies on the similarity of personal data such as first and last ...

SeSAM: software for automatic construction of order-robust linkage maps [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundGenotyping and sequencing technologies produce increasingly large numbers of genetic markers with potentially high rates of missing or erroneous data. Therefore, the construction of linkage maps is more and more complex. Moreover, the size of segregating populations remains constrained by cost issues and is less and less commensurate ...

Methodology Used for “Software for Automated Linkage in Italy” (SALI)
Linkage of epidemiological registries can provide cost-effective information on the associations between different diseases or exposures in the population under study and on completeness of surveillance system databases. We describe the program SALI (software for automated linkage in Italy) aimed at matching individual records from medium-sized ...

Statistical software for gene mapping by admixture linkage disequilibrium [PDF]
Admixture mapping is a statistical methodology that detects genetic variants in recently admixed populations that are responsible for ethnic differences in disease risk. Three software packages are now available for admixture mapping and we provide a brief overview of the statistical methods and other principal features they implement.
