In multilink: Multifile Record Linkage and Duplicate Detection

Duplicate Dataset

Description

A dataset containing 867 simulated records from 3 files with no duplicate records in each file.

Usage

dup_data

Format

A list with three elements:

records

A data.frame with the records, containing 7 fields, from all three files, in the format used for input to create_comparison_data.

file_sizes

The size of each file.

IDs

The true partition of the records, represented as an integer vector of arbitrary labels of length sum(file_sizes).

Source

Extracted from the datasets used in the simulation study of the paper. The datasets were generated using code from Peter Christen's group https://dmm.anu.edu.au/geco/index.php.
