Value used to represent missing data; Defaults to NA

missing.value

The minimum block size when splitting up the data accross
processors. You may wish to change this to optimise the allocation of processors.
see (<a href="https://rcppcore.github.io/RcppParallel/#tuning">https://rcppcore.github.io/RcppParallel/#tuning</a>).

min.parallelblocksize

Labels to apply to function output; Defaults to column names
of the FOI <code><a rd-options="base" href="/link/data.frame?package=Scalelink&version=1.0&to=base" data-mini-rdoc="base::data.frame">data.frame</a></code>

Boolean indicating whether to output additional debugging information

This function calculates a score from two files, the file of interest (FOI)
and linkage data file (LDF).

Perform a 'probabilistic' linkage of two data files using a scaling procedure using the methods described in Goldstein, H., Harron, K. and Cortina-Borja, M. (2017) <doi:10.1002/sim.7287>.
