I am somewhat new to R although using and liking already. I am curious if there are any probabilistic packages similar in function to others such and Link King (http://www.the-link-king.com/). I am looking for functions in SSN, First/Last name, date of birth, and a couple other indicators for matching.
Cannot comment on similarities to Link King but have used the
functions found with this search in similar applications:
RSiteSearch("Levenshtein") #yes, that is spelled correctly
