The goal of fedmatch is to match un-linked datasets. It provides a variety of tools that allow a user to build a custom matching algorithm for their specific application. To get started, see the “Introduction to Fedmatch” vignette by installing fedmatch and running vignette("Intro-to-fedmatch"). For more advanced uses, see the rest of the vignettes by running vignette(package = "fedmatch").
