PhD Project

Title: Assessing the accuracy of record matching algorithms in data linkage

The main focus of the project is to find various techniques to assess the accuracy of record matching algorithms in data linkage. My research work is on assessing the likelihood that records matched from different sources represent the same entity.

Research Interests

• Probabilistic Record Linkage
• Markov Chain Monte Carlo
• Bayesian Statistical Modelling
• Mixture Models
• Spatial Data Analysis
