R: Edit Matching Status

editMatch {RecordLinkage} | R Documentation

## Edit Matching Status

### Description

Allows editing the matching status of record pairs.

### Usage

    editMatch(rpairs)

### Arguments

`rpairs` | A `"RecLinkData"` or `"RLBigData"` object. The record pairs to edit.

### Details

This function pops up an editor (via `edit`) where each record pair in `rpairs` is printed in two consecutive lines, pairs separated by blank lines. The matching status is printed and can be edited in the last column following the first respective record. A match is denoted by 1, a non-match by 0. `NA`s are possible to mark pairs with unknown status. Changes in other fields are ignored.

Manual editing of the matching status is useful for clerical review in general and in particular to label training sets. In conjunction with `getMinimalTrain`, good results can be obtained with a manageable effort of manual review.

### Value

A copy of `rpairs` with edited matching status.
