Description

What methods are being used in record linkage today? The first paper compares the Fellegi-Sunter approach with Bayesian networks. We also see a fully Bayesian approach, Bayesian methods to measure uncertainty in one-to-one matching, estimation via the EM algorithm, and a comparison of a step-wise deterministic linkage strategy with a probabilistic strategy.
