make_ids

Convert an edge list to record identifiers.

An R package for iterative and batched record linkage,
and applying epidemiological case definitions.
'diyar' can be used for deterministic and probabilistic record linkage,
or multistage record linkage combining both approaches.
It features the implementation of nested match criteria, and mechanisms to
address missing data and conflicting matches during stepwise record linkage.
Case definitions are implemented by assigning records to groups based on
match criteria such as person or place, and overlapping time or duration of
events e.g. sample collection dates or periods of hospital stays.
Matching records are assigned a unique group ID. Index and duplicate records
are removed or further analyses as required.
