This pull request introduces a new section of the recordlinkage
API for merging matched records into a new data frame. This PR implements the following:
- A suite of conflict resolution functions for handling conflicts based on observed values, metadata, and user specifications (see:
recordlinkage/algorithms/conflict_resolution.py
) - The
FuseCore
abstract class which implements features common to all data fusion use cases, including a general-purpose framework for handling data conflicts and implementations of several common conflict resolution strategies (see:recordlinkage/fusion.py
). - The
FuseLinks
class, which implements data fusion for two data frames (see:recordlinkage/fusion.py
).
