Hello, I've tried to tag this topic on an older thread, but haven't gotten any responses, so was trying to create a new conversation.
I have seen different descriptions comparing -matchit- and -reclink2-. There is also a Stata pdf presentation on -dtalink-. Some of the materials are pretty complex for these packages, but would any interested parties be able to give even a brief overview on when you would use one of these vs the other and which is better for what type of tasks? I will be using large data sets, (~500,000 observations), trying to perform fuzzy/imperfect matches on names, date of birth, event dates, identification numbers. Thanks!
