Regression Analysis of Data Files that Are Computer Matched

Abstract

This paper focuses on how to deal with record linkage errors when engaged in regression analysis Recent work by Rubin and Belin 1991 and by Winkler and Thibaudeau 1991 provides the theory computational algorithms and software necessary for estimating matching probabilities These advances allow us to update the work of Neter My1esandRamanathan-i965 Adjustment-procedures-are-outlined-and-some-successful-simulationsaredescribed Our results are preliminary and intended largely to stimulate further work
