Creating a large database test bed with typographical errors for record linkage evaluation. Poster session presented at: Biomedical and Health Informatics - From Foundations to Applications to Policy.

Selecting the best record linkage algorithm requires an evaluation to determine its sensitivity and specificity. This evaluation is facilitated by a large database test bed that closely reflects a real world population and takes into account the potential data entry errors that unfortunately occur in real-world databases. This study investigated the synthesis of such a database.en-USrecord linkagedatabase synthesisConference Paper
