In fastLink: Fast Probabilistic Record Linkage with Missing Data

gammaNUMCKpar

Description

Field comparisons for numeric variables. Three possible agreement patterns are considered: 0 total disagreement, 1 partial agreement, 2 agreement. The distance between numbers is calculated using their absolute distance.

Usage

gammaNUMCKpar(matAp, matBp, n.cores, cut.a, cut.p)

Arguments

matAp	vector storing the comparison field in data set 1
matBp	vector storing the comparison field in data set 2
n.cores	Number of cores to parallelize over. Default is NULL.
cut.a	Lower bound for full match. Default is 1
cut.p	Lower bound for partial match. Default is 2

Value

gammaNUMCKpar returns a list with the indices corresponding to each matching pattern, which can be fed directly into tableCounts and matchesLink.
