We used a household identification number to link records within a household.
This novel method uses fuzzy-logic to link records without the researcher knowing the identity of the linked cases.
Distance-based methods that can handle numerical or categorical fields, as described in [ 3], are another method to link records.
The probabilistic approach allows for inconsistencies between records with missing matches i.e. it has the capacity to link records with errors in the linking fields.
In the second approach we use a hybrid strategy whereby we first link records deterministically and thereafter match the remaining records using probabilistic methods.
The WADLS encompasses systematic record linkage and uses probabilistic matching to link records from numerous datasets together for the same individual.
