Probabilistic record linkage [PDF]
International Journal of Epidemiology, 2015 Studies involving the use of probabilistic record linkage are becoming increasingly common. However, the methods underpinning probabilistic record linkage are not widely taught or understood, and therefore these studies can appear to be a 'black box ...

Demystifying probabilistic linkage [PDF]
International Journal of Population Data Science, 2018 Many of the distinctions made between probabilistic and deterministic linkage are misleading. While these two approaches to record linkage operate in different ways and can produce different outputs, the distinctions between them are more a result of how they are implemented than because of any intrinsic differences.

An Introduction to Probabilistic Record Linkage with a Focus on Linkage Processing for WTC Registries [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020 Since its post-World War II inception, the science of record linkage has grown exponentially and is used across industrial, governmental, and academic agencies. The academic fields that rely on record linkage are diverse, ranging from history to public health to demography.

Estimating parameters for probabilistic linkage of privacy-preserved datasets [PDF]
BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2017 Probabilistic record linkage is a process used to bring together person-based records from within the same dataset (de-duplication) or from disparate datasets using pairwise comparisons and matching probabilities. The linkage strategy and associated match probabilities are often estimated through investigations into data quality and manual inspection ...

When to conduct probabilistic linkage vs. deterministic linkage? A simulation study
Journal of Biomedical Informatics, 2015 When unique identifiers are unavailable, successful record linkage depends greatly on data quality and types of variables available. While probabilistic linkage theoretically captures more true matches than deterministic linkage by allowing imperfection in identifiers, studies have shown inconclusive results likely due to variations in data quality ...

Secure pseudonymisation for privacy-preserving probabilistic record linkage [PDF]
Journal of Information Security and Applications, 2017 Record linkage is becoming an increasingly important tool in many areas of research – particularly medical research, where the relevant data often reside in more than one location. In the absence of a reliable and unique identifier probabilistic approaches to linkage are often employed.

Accuracy of Probabilistic Linkage Using the Enhanced Matching System for Public Health and Epidemiological Studies [PDF]
PLoS One, 2015 The Enhanced Matching System (EMS) is a probabilistic record linkage program developed by the tuberculosis section at Public Health England to match data for individuals across two datasets. This paper outlines how EMS works and investigates its accuracy

The potential of probabilistic graphical models in linkage map construction [PDF]
Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2016 Probabilistic graphical models show great potential for robust and reliable construction of linkage maps. We show how to use probabilistic graphical models to construct high-quality linkage maps in the face of data perturbations caused by genotyping errors and reciprocal translocations. It has been shown that linkage map construction can be hampered by

Using probabilistic genotypes in linkage analysis of polyploids [PDF]
Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2021 AbstractKey messageIn polyploids, linkage mapping is carried out using genotyping with discrete dosage scores. Here, we use probabilistic genotypes and we validate it for the construction of polyploid linkage maps.AbstractMarker genotypes are generally called as discrete values: homozygous versus heterozygous in the case of diploids, or an integer ...
