MSc Seminar: "Linking Historical Censuses to generate Longitudinal data using discrete methods" by Pavneet Kaur
ABSTRACT:
In Data Mining, Record Linkage is the process of identifying the same entities in one or more data sources in the absence of unique identifiers. Social Scientists and Historians have employed various linkage techniques to construct the longitudinal data by linking two or more historical censuses. Longitudinal data can provide us with valuable information about characteristics of population change over time. However, construction of such longitudinal data is challenged by the unavailability of personal identifiers.
