Record Linkage Comparison Patterns

The records represent individual data including first and family name, sex, date of birth and postal code, which were collected through iterative insertions in the course of several years. The comparison patterns in this data set are based on a sample of 100.000 records dating from 2005 to 2008. Data pairs were classified as "match" or "non-match" during an extensive manual review where several documentarists were involved. The resulting classification formed the basis for assessing the quality of the registry’s own record linkage procedure. In order to limit the amount of patterns a blocking procedure was applied, which selects only record pairs that meet specific agreement conditions. The results of the following six blocking iterations were merged together: **- Phonetic equality of first name and family name, equality of date of birth.** Phonetic equality of first name, equality of day of birth. **- Phonetic equality of first name, equality of month of birth.** Phonetic equality of first name, equality of year of birth. **- Equality of complete date of birth.** Phonetic equality of family name, equality of sex. This procedure resulted in 5.749.132 record pairs, of which 20.931 are matches. The data set is split into 10 blocks of (approximately) equal size and ratio of matches to non-matches. [Record Linkage Comparison Patterns Data Set](http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Record+Linkage+Comparison+Patterns) at [UCI](http://archive.ics.uci.edu/)本数据集包含个体数据记录，涵盖名、姓氏、性别、出生日期及邮政编码，相关数据经多年迭代录入收集而成。本数据集的比较模式基于2005年至2008年间的100,000条记录样本。在多名文档专员参与的大规模人工审核中，记录对被标记为“匹配”或“非匹配”。最终得到的分类结果，成为评估该登记系统自身记录链接（Record Linkage）流程质量的基准。 为控制模式数量，本数据集采用了阻塞法（blocking procedure），仅筛选满足特定一致性条件的记录对。随后将以下六轮阻塞迭代的结果进行合并： **- 名与姓氏的语音一致性、出生日期完全一致** 名语音一致性、出生日期日份一致 **- 名语音一致性、出生日期月份一致** 名语音一致性、出生日期年份一致 **- 出生日期完全一致** 姓氏语音一致性、性别一致 该流程共生成5,749,132条记录对，其中20,931条为匹配记录对。本数据集被划分为10个块，各块规模及匹配记录对与非匹配记录对的比例大致相当。 本数据集为[记录链接比较模式数据集（Record Linkage Comparison Patterns Data Set）](http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Record+Linkage+Comparison+Patterns)，来源于[UCI](http://archive.ics.uci.edu/)机器学习库。

背景概述

该数据集基于2005年至2008年的10万条个人记录样本，包含姓名、性别、出生日期和邮政编码等信息，通过人工审核将数据对分类为'匹配'或'非匹配'，以评估记录链接程序的质量。应用阻塞程序合并了六次迭代结果，生成了5,749,132条记录对，其中20,931条为匹配，并将数据分成10个具有近似匹配比例的块。
