Hello all, We have just released the R package 'fedmatch' to CRAN. Following is a brief description and some links for more information: With an ever-expanding set of financial data providers, each covering many of the same firms and entities, matching data sets that do not share common identifiers has never been more important. *fedmatch* is a set of tools for performing record linkage between two data sets. It allows for a variety of different matching techniques, letting the user build a matching algorithm for their specific application. Although *fedmatch* was designed with economic data in mind (i.e. loans or companies), it is very flexible, so it can be used for any matching problem. With *fedmatch*, a researcher or analyst can quickly go from having 0 matches between two datasets to having many. With more time and care, they can use more advanced techniques to pull out even more matches.
