HIV and cancer registry linkage identifies a substantial burden of cancers in persons with HIV in India. [PDF]
, 2016 We utilized computerized record-linkage methods to link HIV and cancer databases with limited unique identifiers in Pune, India, to determine feasibility of linkage and obtain preliminary estimates of cancer risk in persons living with HIV (PLHIV) as ...

Privacy preserving record linkage meets record linkage using unencrypted data
International Journal of Population Data Science, 2018 Introduction Privacy preserving record linkage (PPRL) resolves privacy concerns because of its capabilities to link encrypted identifiers. It encrypts identifiers using bloom filters and performs record matching based on encrypted data using dice ...

A Comparison of Blocking Methods for Record Linkage
, 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.

Demystifying probabilistic linkage
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

A hierarchical Bayesian approach to record linkage and population size problems
, 2011 We propose and illustrate a hierarchical Bayesian approach for matching statistical records observed on different occasions. We show how this model can be profitably adopted both in record linkage problems and in capture--recapture setups, where the size
