Run fastLink through the uniform wrapper interface

Links dataA and dataB with the package and returns the linked pairs in the common format used by compute_RL_FDP_score() and compute_augmRL_FDP_synth(). dataA and dataB can be the outputs of synthesise() or the original encoded data sources.

Usage

link_with_fastLink(dataA, dataB, arguments, ...)

Arguments

dataA

Data source to link: the encoded source from prepare_data(), or the augmented sources from synthesise().

dataB

Data source to link: the encoded source from prepare_data(), or the augmented sources from synthesise().

arguments

List of extra arguments forwarded to fastLink::fastLink() (e.g. varnames, threshold.match, tol.em, return.all).

...

Ignored; kept for compatibility with RL_diagnostics().

Value

Named list with idxA, idxB and LinkScore (row indices in dataA, dataB and linkage scores of potential linked records).
