dist_col_type

dist_col_type
Inner column type record distance function

An implementation of Kaplan, Betancourt, Steorts (2022) <doi:10.1080/00031305.2022.2041482> that creates representative records for use in downstream tasks after entity resolution is performed. Multiple methods for creating the representative records (data sets) are provided.

dist_col_type function

<dl><dt>a</dt>
<dd>record a</dd>
<dt>b</dt>
<dd>record b</dd>
<dt>col_type</dt>
<dd>A vector encoding the column type for each column in the dataset. Can take values
in "categorical", "ordinal", "string", or "numeric"</dd>
<dt>weights</dt>
<dd>A vector of weights for each column for making some column distances more important. Must sum to 1.
Defaults to equal weights.</dd>
<dt>orders</dt>
<dd>A named list containing the order of the levels in each ordinal column. Defaults to NULL,
which corresponds to no ordinal variables.</dd></dl>
