A Fuzzy Approach to Record Linkages
Record Linkage is the process of identifying and unifying records from various independent data sources. Existing strategies, which can be either deterministic or probabilistic, often fail to link records satisfactorily under uncertainty. This paper describes an indigenously (locally) developed fuzzy linkage method, based on fuzzy set techniques, which can effectively account for this uncertainty prevalent in the disparate data sources and address the shortcomings of the existing approaches. Extensive testing, evaluation and comparisons have demonstrated the efficacy of this fuzzy approach for record linkages.

A study linking patient EHR data to external death data at Stanford Medicine
This manuscript explores linking real-world patient data with external death data in the context of research Clinical Data Warehouses (r-CDWs). We specifically present the linking of Electronic Health Records (EHR) data …
Hypo-paradoxical Linkages: Linkages That Should Move-But Don't
While paradoxical linkages famously violate the Chebyshev-Grubler-Kutzbach criterion by exhibiting unexpected mobility, we identify an opposing phenomenon: a class of linkages that appear mobile according to the same cri…
Supervised Similarity for Firm Linkages
We introduce a novel proxy for firm linkages, Characteristic Vector Linkages (CVLs). We use this concept to estimate firm linkages, first through Euclidean similarity, and then by applying Quantum Cognition Machine Learn…
Ambiguity-Driven Fuzzy C-Means Clustering: How to Detect Uncertain Clustered Records
As a well-known clustering algorithm, Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) allows each input sample to belong to more than one cluster, providing more flexibility than non-fuzzy clustering methods. However, the accuracy of FCM is subject…
