The phrase "availability of linkage" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing the presence or accessibility of connections or relationships, often in technical or academic fields.
Example: "The availability of linkage between the two datasets is crucial for our analysis."
Alternatives: "accessibility of connections" or "presence of links".
To the best of our knowledge, this method has only been implemented in populations of model organisms (Park 2011; Sved et al. 2013), but the increasing availability of linkage maps will facilitate Ne estimation in many species of conservation concern.
Here, the availability of linkage and association information from two independent methods of analysis provides this unique opportunity, allowing us to prioritize signals for future follow-up based on the combined signal from both approaches.
The amount of variation in the SLK allowed when linking various datasets depended on the availability of additional linkage information.
The availability of record linkage only for the birth admission limited our ability to validate the reporting of surgical procedures.
This time period was chosen to coincide with the availability of HES and ONS linkage for English practices within the CPRD.
Other limitations include that data regarding statin use were only obtainable for 309 cases and 294 controls due to limited availability of data linkage.
With wider availability of record linkage, analysis similar to the one presented in this paper is increasingly possible in other countries.
Another strength of the CPRD is the availability of data linkage for the subset of patients (> 50% of the total patients included in the CPRD) registered at practices in England which participate in CPRD data linkage 18.
The availability of a linkage map would facilitate the next stage of genetic studies (i.e. mapping the loci that determine additive genetic variance) of an important model organism in evolutionary and ecological research.
Moreover, the availability of data linkage systems and electronic health records will facilitate large-scale, population-based research and health service evaluation, subject to the issues of missing data, confidentiality and errors [ 4].
However, because of the unique availability of the linkage of child medical records to maternal records at KPNC, we were able to compare the self-reported data with those using measured height and weight during the pregnancy in the electronic medical record (measured at alpha fetoprotein test).
