fedmatch 2.1.0

• Fixed several bugs leading to too many threads being used. Be sure to set number of threads with “Sys.setenv(”OMP_THREAD_LIMIT” = N)” to use more threads if you’d like.

fedmatch 2.0.7

• Fixed error with stringdist receiving zero-length number of threads

fedmatch 2.0.6

• Fixed documentation referencing “X” to be to the proper vignette
• Fixed documentation referencing “wgt_jaccard_distance” that should be “wgt_jaccard_dist”
• Fixed issue so that multivar_match warns when invalid compare_types are used
• Fixed issue where wgt_jaccard_dist wasn’t listed as a valid compare type
• Fixed bug where ‘difference’ comparison method would assign wrong scores for negative numbers
• Improved documentation around scoring for post-hoc matchscores

fedmatch 2.0.5

• Fixed bug in build_tier_settings that didn’t include sequential_words argument
• Fixed bug where clean_strings wasn’t removing the replacement words even if remove_words == T
• Fixed bug where tier_match didn’t work in some cases with fuzzy_match
• Now exporting build_corpus to easily compute wgt_jaccard_distance
• Added weighted jaccard distance option to compare_type in multivar matching

fedmatch 2.0.4

• Added wgt_jaccard_distance to easily compute Weighted Jaccard Distances for two string vectors
• Lowered R requirement to 3.5.3
• Added behavior to remove NA observations from exact matches, reinserting them into later tiers if necessary
• Fixed bug in tier_match building ‘nomatch’ datasets incorrectly
• Fixed bug in wgt_jaccard where inverse frequencies were not being logged.

fedmatch 2.0.3

• Fixed STATE_FIPS to actually include FIPS codes
• Changed the output column from ‘multivar’ matching to be called ‘multivar_score’ rather than ‘matchscore’, so as not to conflict with score_settings in merge_plus
• Fixed bug in Weighted Jaccard scoring that would allow scores > 1 if the two names shared multiples of the same word

fedmatch 2.0.2

• Fixed bugs in Weighted Jaccard code to run on MacOS environments

fedmatch 2.0.1

• Fixed bugs in Makevars so that C++ code runs in parallel
• Fixed bugs in tier_match that stopped matches from being removed in between tiers
• Fixed bugs preventing the successful build on other platforms besides native Linux

fedmatch 2.0.0

• Added full data.table functionality to dramatically increase speed
• Added ‘multivar’ matching to match on multiple variables
  • Added capability to train a logit model and use the output
• Added ‘Weighted Jaccard’ match to get better matches
