RLT-S: A Web System for Record Linkage. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Record linkage integrates records across multiple related data sources identifying duplicates and accounting for possible errors. Real life applications require efficient algorithms to merge these voluminous data sources to find out all records belonging

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 ...

Generalized Bayesian Record Linkage and Regression with Exact Error Propagation [PDF]
Steorts, R.C., Tancredi, A., Liseo, B. Generalized Bayesian Record
Linkage and Regression with Exact Error Propagation, PSD (2018), 2018 Record linkage (de-duplication or entity resolution) is the process of merging noisy databases to remove duplicate entities. While record linkage removes duplicate entities from such databases, the downstream task is any inferential, predictive, or post-linkage task on the linked data.

Interactive Record Linkage [PDF]
Demographic Research, 2000 In order to carry out demographic analyses at individual and group levels, a manual method of linking individual event records from parish registers was developed in the late 1950s. In order to save time and to work with larger areas than small parishes,

Bayesian Record Linkage with Variables in One File [PDF]
Statistics in Medicine, 2023, 2023 In many healthcare and social science applications, information about units is dispersed across multiple data files. Linking records across files is necessary to estimate the associations of interest. Common record linkage algorithms only rely on similarities between linking variables that appear in all the files.

A Comparison of Blocking Methods for Record Linkage [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Record linkage seeks to merge databases and to remove duplicates when unique identifiers are not available. Most approaches use blocking techniques to reduce the computational complexity associated with record linkage. We review traditional blocking techniques, which typically partition the records according to a set of field attributes, and consider ...

arXiv, 2015 We study the problem of group linkage: linking records that refer to entities in the same group. Applications for group linkage include finding businesses in the same chain, finding conference attendees from the same affiliation, finding players from the same team, etc. Group linkage faces challenges not present for traditional record linkage.

An open-source probabilistic record linkage process for records with family-level information: Simulation study and applied analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 Research with administrative records involves the challenge of limited information in any single data source to answer policy-related questions. Record linkage provides researchers with a tool to supplement administrative datasets with other information ...

Privacy-preserving record linkage using Bloom filters [PDF]
BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making, 2009 Background Combining multiple databases with disjunctive or additional information on the same person is occurring increasingly throughout research. If unique identification numbers for these individuals are not available, probabilistic record linkage is
