title: 'diyar: Record Linkage and Epidemiological Case Definitions in ''R'''
version: 0.5.1.9001
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.diyar
abstract: An R package for iterative and batched record linkage, and applying epidemiological
  case definitions. 'diyar' can be used for deterministic and probabilistic record
  linkage, or multistage record linkage combining both approaches. It features the
  implementation of nested match criteria, and mechanisms to address missing data
  and conflicting matches during stepwise record linkage. Case definitions are implemented
  by assigning records to groups based on match criteria such as person or place,
  and overlapping time or duration of events e.g. sample collection dates or periods
  of hospital stays. Matching records are assigned a unique group ID. Index and duplicate
  records are removed or further analyses as required.
