About the Book

This is a guide to the methods of automated record linkage; the author has attempted to give a clear account of the logic by which the principles of record linkage can be applied in practice. The work covers the automated methods for probabilistic file searching and matching procedures, on information prone to change. The procedures have applications in medical follow-up records, administration of programs for social security, revenue, passports and other government services, and in business and private sector activities for customer services, credit, subscription lists etc. This handbook is intended for use by all those who carry out computerized searches of large files of records without the need of professional mathematicians and other specialists.

Table of Contents:
Introduction. Part 1 The basics and their application: including probabilistic linkage, betting odds and frequency ratios, using "global" and "specific" discriminating powers. Part 2 Exploiting more of the discriminating power: including what to do with missing identifiers, comparing names, years of birth, places of birth, geographical identifiers and marital status, linked and unlinkable pairs, some pitfalls. Part 3 Saving central processor time: including blocking the files, the preliminary rejections, the comparison sequence and its early cut-off, the application of value-specific discriminating powers. Part 4 Organizing the product: including calculating absolute versus relative odds, setting an "optimum" threshold, grouping the matched pairs. Part 5 Recapitulation and further thoughts. Appendices: A - definitions. B - derivations. C - typical identifier frequencies. D - linking special disease registers. E - errors, their sources and magnitudes. F - calculating the outcome frequencies for a non-existent file of unlinkable pairs. G - constructing a file of randomly matched unlinkable pairs. H - details of phonetic coding systems for names. I - design of a computer linkage system. Bibliography. Index.
