summary.fastLink() calculates and outputs FDR, FNR, match counts, and match rates for estimated matches from a fastLink() object.

## S3 method for class 'fastLink' summary(object, num.comparisons = 1, thresholds = c(.95, .85, .75), weighted = TRUE, digits = 3, ...)

Arguments

  • object: Either a single fastLink or fastLink.EM object, or a list of fastLink or fastLink.EM objects to be aggregated together produced by aggregateEM.
  • num.comparisons: The number of comparisons attempted for each observation in the across-geography match step. A correction factor to avoid multiple-counting. Default is NULL
  • thresholds: A vector of posterior probabilities to calculate the summary statistics.
  • weighted: Whether to weight the cross-geography matches on FDR and FNR.
  • digits: How many digits to include in summary object. Default is 3.
  • ...: Further arguments to be passed to summary.fastLink().
