check_IDs | Check whether 2 records which are estimated to be linked have the same IDs
identity.RLdata500 | identity.RLdata500
links | Function that returns the shared MPMMS (except with an easier condition to code than JASA paper). Function to make a list of vectors of estimated links by "P(MPMMS)>0.5" method Note: The default settings return only MPMMSs with multiple members.
links.compare | This function takes a set of pairwise links and identifies correct, incorrect, and missing links (correct = estimated and true, incorrect = estimated but not true, missing = true but not estimated)
mms | Function to compute a record's Maximal Matching Set (MMS) based on a single linkage structure
mpmms | Function to compute a record's MPMMS based on a Gibbs sampler. Note: It returns a list of the MPMMS ($mpmms) and its probability ($prob)
pairwise | Function to take links list that may contain 3-way, 4-way, etc. and reduce it to pairwise only (e.g., a 3-way link 12-45-78 is changed to 2-way links: 12-45, 12-78, 45-78
rl.gibbs | Gibbs sampler for empirically motivated Bayesian record linkage
