BlockAndCompareCombinations: Block and then Compare Unique Combinations of Records

In kaylafrisoli/ActiveRL:

Description

Block by substrings of any length of multiple variables from a dataset and then compare using any comparison function on any set of variables

Usage

BlockAndCompareCombinations(RLdata, var.names, n.chars = NULL, ids = NULL,
  variables.to.match = NULL, string.comparators = NULL)

Arguments

RLdata	Dataset containing records to be matched
var.names	Vector of strings of variables you want to block by
n.chars	Vector of number of the characters you want to compare, respective to var.names
ids	True unique identification vector of length nrow(RLdata)
variables.to.match	Vector of strings containing the variables of interest for this linkage. Default is all variables in RLdata. Can repeat variables to use different comparators on same variable.
string.comparators	Vector of strings containing the comparators wanted for each variable. Default is jarowinkler. Should be same length as variables.to.match.

Value

A list of data and comparisons for each block

block.comparison.lists	list of datasets corresponding to the linkage comparisons for each block of data
block.data	list of blocked datasets
