  2. Record linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Record_linkage

    The simplest kind of record linkage, called deterministic or rules-based record linkage, generates links based on the number of individual identifiers that match among the available data sets. [10] Two records are said to match via a deterministic record linkage procedure if all or some identifiers (above a certain threshold) are identical.

  3. Pattern matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_matching

    The creations of these functions can be automated by Haskell's data record syntax. This OCaml example which defines a red–black tree and a function to re-balance it after element insertion shows how to match on a more complex structure generated by a recursive data type. The compiler verifies at compile-time that the list of cases is ...

  4. Approximate string matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_string_matching

    With the availability of large amounts of DNA data, matching of nucleotide sequences has become an important application. [1] Approximate matching is also used in spam filtering. [5] Record linkage is a common application where records from two disparate databases are matched. String matching cannot be used for most binary data, such as images ...

  5. Matching (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matching_(statistics)

    Matching is a statistical technique that evaluates the effect of a treatment by comparing the treated and the non-treated units in an observational study or quasi-experiment (i.e. when the treatment is not randomly assigned).

  6. Match rating approach - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match_Rating_Approach

    The match rating approach (MRA) is a phonetic algorithm for indexing of words by their pronunciation developed by Western Airlines in 1977 for the indexation and comparison of homophonous names. [1] The algorithm itself has a simple set of encoding rules but a more lengthy set of comparison rules.

  7. Schema matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schema_matching

    The terms schema matching and mapping are often used interchangeably for a database process. For this article, we differentiate the two as follows: schema matching is the process of identifying that two objects are semantically related (scope of this article) while mapping refers to the transformations between the objects.

  8. String-searching algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String-searching_algorithm

    A simple and inefficient way to see where one string occurs inside another is to check at each index, one by one. First, we see if there is a copy of the needle starting at the first character of the haystack; if not, we look to see if there's a copy of the needle starting at the second character of the haystack, and so forth.

  9. Index (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_(statistics)

    Sample of a well maintained data [clarification needed]. In statistics and research design, an index is a composite statistic – a measure of changes in a representative group of individual data points, or in other words, a compound measure that aggregates multiple indicators.
