Title: Post-Linkage and Unlinked Data Analysis

Speaker: Martin Slawski, Associate Professor, University of Virginia

Abstract:

Contemporary data analysis commonly requires the integration of multiple data sets such as two sets of electronic health records. Record linkage is a powerful tool for merging multiple files in the absence of unique identifiers. However, accurate linkage does not imply validity of statistical analyses based on the linked file. In this talk, I will present a general framework designed to account for incorrect links in the secondary analysis setting in which the data analyst has only access to the linked file and limited information about the linkage process and the reliability of individual links. I will then discuss how this framework can be extended to survival analysis using the Cox model and basic Causal Inference methods. Finally, I will sketch “Unlinked Data Analysis” as an alternative approach that can still be applied when record linkage is not feasible.
