This study introduces a C++ system for probabilistic record linkage, outperforming manual methods in speed and sensitivity for large databases. The automated system demonstrates robust performance, even in early development stages.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Data Management
  • Bioinformatics

Context:

  • Database linkage is crucial for integrating disparate data sources.
  • Manual record linkage is time-consuming and error-prone, especially with large datasets.
  • Existing automated methods may have limitations in speed or accuracy.

Purpose:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel system for probabilistic record linkage.
  • To assess the system's performance in terms of processing time and sensitivity.
  • To compare the automated system against manual linkage methods.

Summary:

  • A C++ based system utilizing probabilistic record linkage was developed.
  • The system was tested on varying data sizes, showing significant time savings over manual processing.
