These data were then matched with the National Death Index using a probabilistic record linking package ("Automatch").
The search process was simplified using Link Plus software, a probabilistic record linkage programme initially designed by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDCC) (http://www.cdc.gov/cancer/npcr/tools/registryplus/lp.htm).
However, using string similarity functions within a probabilistic record linkage system will improve the linkage quality considerably.
A probabilistic record linkage was conducted using the software RecLink, version 3.0 (http://www.iesc.ufrj.br/reclink/) [ 20].
Because routine data in Switzerland are anonymous and there is no personal identifier to link datasets, we had to link the cases from the SCCR to the census records using a probabilistic linkage procedure.
More recently, an extreme value (EV) approach has been used to link the probability of a crash occurrence to the frequency of conflicts estimated from observed variability of crash proximity, using a probabilistic framework and without using crash records.
Individual-level data from the SHeS have been confidentially linked to routinely collected hospital admission records and mortality data (17) using a probabilistic matching algorithm (26).
Semiautonomous Longitudinal Collision Avoidance Using a Probabilistic Decision Threshold.
Here, we use a probabilistic interpretation of fuzzy sets.
Sequences of syllables are generated using a probabilistic Markov model.
