Table 1 Productivity of Geocoding Record Linkage and Quantification of Confidence in Residential Geolocation for Large Subsets of Cancer Cases

From: Capturing emergency dispatch address points as geocoding candidates to quantify delimited confidence in residential geolocation

Procedure

Productivity

Exception handling

Probabilistic Linkage

100 K-1 M cases/hour*

High productivity per case

All cases that did not match are subject to deterministic linkage. No exception handling

Deterministic Linkage

100 cases/hour

Moderate productivity per case

Cases that did not match are subjects to interactive linkage. Some exception handling

Interactive Linkage

10 cases/hour

Low productivity per case

Cases that did not match are subject to geocoding record linkage substitution

Greatest exception handling

  1. *Depending on CPU resources
