title: 'postlink: Post-Linkage Data Analysis'
version: 0.1.0.9000
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.postlink
abstract: Provides a suite of statistical tools for post-linkage data analysis (PLDA),
  designed to account for record linkage errors in downstream modeling. The package
  implements a familiar, formula-based regression interface that adjusts for linkage
  uncertainty, accommodating workflows where direct access to unlinked primary files
  is restricted. It consolidates diverse adjustment methodologies, all of which support
  generalized linear models (linear, logistic, Poisson, and Gamma). These methodologies
  include weighting approaches (Chambers (2009) <https://hdl.handle.net/10779/uow.27788247>;
  Chambers et al. (2023) <https://doi.org/10.1002/wics.1596>), mixture modeling (Slawski
  et al. (2025) <https://doi.org/10.1093/jrsssa/qnae083>), and Bayesian mixture modeling
  (Gutman et al. (2016) <https://doi.org/10.1002/sim.6586>). For time-to-event data,
  both the weighting (Vo et al. (2024) <https://doi.org/10.1002/sim.9960>) and mixture
  modeling approaches accommodate Cox proportional hazards models, while the Bayesian
  approaches extend to parametric survival analysis. Additionally, the package leverages
  mixture modeling for contingency table analyses and Bayesian methods to enable the
  multiple imputation of latent match status.
