RLdata500

This data is taken from RecordLinkage R package developed by Murat Sariyar and Andreas Borg.
The package is licensed under GPL-3 license.
The <code>RLdata500</code> table contains artificial personal data.
Some records have been duplicated with randomly generated errors. <code>RLdata500</code> contains fifty duplicates.

The goal of 'blocking' is to provide blocking methods for record linkage and deduplication using approximate nearest neighbour (ANN) algorithms and graph techniques. It supports multiple ANN implementations via 'rnndescent', 'RcppHNSW', 'RcppAnnoy', and 'mlpack' packages, and provides integration with the 'reclin2' package. The package generates shingles from character strings and similarity vectors for record comparison, and includes evaluation metrics for assessing blocking performance including false positive rate (FPR) and false negative rate (FNR) estimates.

RLdata500 function

A <code>data.table</code> with 500 records. Each row represents one record, with the following columns:
<ul>
<li><code>fname_c1</code> -- first name, first component,</li>
<li><code>fname_c2</code> -- first name, second component,</li>
<li><code>lname_c1</code> -- last name, first component,</li>
<li><code>lname_c2</code> -- last name, second component,</li>
<li><code>by</code> -- year of birth,</li>
<li><code>bm</code> -- month of birth,</li>
<li><code>bd</code> -- day of birth,</li>
<li><code>rec_id</code> -- record id,</li>
<li><code>ent_id</code> -- entity id.</li>
</ul>
