Computation of Weights for Probabilistic Record Linkage Using the EM Algorithm
Record linkage is the process of combining information about a single individual from two or more records. Probabilistic record linkage gives weights to each field that is compared. The decision of whether the records should be linked is then determined by the sum of the weights, or “Score”, over al...
