tableCounts function

tableCounts

Count pairs with the same pattern in the cross product between two datasets.

tableCounts(gammalist, nobs.a, nobs.b, n.cores)

Arguments

• gammalist: A list of objects produced by gammaKpar, gammaCK2par, or gammaCKpar.
• nobs.a: number of observations in dataset 1
• nobs.b: number of observations in dataset 2
• n.cores: Number of cores to parallelize over. Default is NULL.

Returns

tableCounts returns counts of all unique mathching patterns, which can be fed directly into emlinkMAR to get posterior matching probabilities for each unique pattern.

Examples

## Not run:

## Calculate gammas
g1 <- gammaCKpar(dfA$firstname, dfB$firstname)
g2 <- gammaCKpar(dfA$middlename, dfB$middlename)
g3 <- gammaCKpar(dfA$lastname, dfB$lastname)
g4 <- gammaKpar(dfA$birthyear, dfB$birthyear)

## Run tableCounts
tc <- tableCounts(list(g1, g2, g3, g4), nobs.a = nrow(dfA), nobs.b = nrow(dfB))
## End(Not run)
