Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire
At the end of the course the student will know the methods for linking the information referred to the same statistical unit. This information belongs to different archives and the statistical unit is not identified by means of a code free of errors. The student will be able to use the exact matching, by means of deterministic and probabilistic record linkage and the basic tools of statistical matching.

Metodi didattici
Lectures and tutorials in R.
Modalità di verifica e valutazione dell'apprendimento
Written exam with the use of R that covers both practical and theoretical exercises.
Paper notes and resources are allowed, while electronic and online resources are not.
Optional oral exam (with the prerequisite of a passing grade, ≥18/30, in the written part) that focuses on theoretical understanding. The oral exam grade range is ±3 with respect to the written exam grade.
Strumenti a supporto della didattica
Slides and blackboard.
