Record linkage using Stata

This project points to an article in The Stata Journal describing a set of routines to preprocess nominal data (firm names and addresses), perform probabilistic linking of two datasets, and display candidate matches for clerical review.<br>The ado files and supporting pattern files are downloadable within Stata.本项目关联《Stata期刊》（The Stata Journal）中的一篇学术文章，该文阐述了一套可用于预处理名义数据（nominal data，涵盖企业名称与地址）、实现两份数据集概率匹配，并展示供人工审核的候选匹配结果的程序例程。 相关ado文件及配套模式文件均可在Stata中下载。
