In bstrl: Bayesian Streaming Record Linkage

Return True/False whether the two record are coreferent

Description

Return True/False whether the two record are coreferent

Usage

islinked(sl, file1, record1, file2, record2)

Arguments

sl	A streaming link object
file1, record1	The file number and record number of the first record
file2, record2	The file number and record number of the second record. Note that file2 must be greater than file1.

Value

A boolean value. True if these two records are linked within sl, False otherwise.

Examples

data(geco_small_result)
samples <- extractlinks(geco_small_result)

# Are record 9 in file 1 and record 7 in file 4 linked in the first posterior sample?
islinked(samples[[1]], file1=1, record1=9, file2=4, record2=7)

# In what proportion of posterior samples are record 9 in file 1 and record 7 in file 4 linked?
mean(sapply(samples, islinked, file1=1, record1=9, file2=4, record2=7))

# In what proportion of posterior samples are record 8 in file 1 and record 1 in file 2 linked?
mean(sapply(samples, islinked, file1=1, record1=8, file2=2, record2=1))
