RLResult-class {RecordLinkage} | R Documentation |
Class "RLResult"
Description
A class that represents the result of a record linkage procedure with big data sets.
Objects from the Class
Objects from this class are created by the classification functions in
this package, e.g. classifySupv
. Directly creating instances
by calling new
is neither necessary nor recommended.
Slots
data
:Object of class
"RLBigData"
. The data set which was classified.prediction
:Object of class
"ff"
. A vector with classification result for every record pair, coded by levels"N"
for a non-link,"P"
for a possible link and"L"
for a link.
Methods
- clone
signature(object = "RLResult")
- getDbFile
signature(object = "RLResult")
- getErrorMeasures
signature(object = "RLResult")
- getPairs
signature(object = "RLResult")
- getTable
signature(object = "RLResult")
- saveRLObject
signature(object = "RLResult")
Note
The slot data
uses a database to store data and create
comparison patterns, thus assignment of a "RLResult"
object to a
different variable can lead to undesired results. Use clone
to make
a distinct copy. Similarly, the standard save mechanism does not work;
saveRLObject
and loadRLObject
are provided to make objects
persistent over different R sessions.
