gammaNUMCKpar function

gammaNUMCKpar

Field comparisons for numeric variables. Three possible agreement patterns are considered: 0 total disagreement, 1 partial agreement, 2 agreement. The distance between numbers is calculated using their absolute distance.

gammaNUMCKpar(matAp, matBp, n.cores, cut.a, cut.p)

Arguments

• matAp: vector storing the comparison field in data set 1
• matBp: vector storing the comparison field in data set 2
• n.cores: Number of cores to parallelize over. Default is NULL.
• cut.a: Lower bound for full match. Default is 1
• cut.p: Lower bound for partial match. Default is 2

Returns

gammaNUMCKpar returns a list with the indices corresponding to each matching pattern, which can be fed directly into tableCounts and matchesLink.

Examples

## Not run:

g1 <- gammaNUMCKpar(dfA$birthyear, dfB$birthyear)
## End(Not run)
