Example examining the relationship between false links and true links for different linkage strategies. Figure 3 shows the estimated number of false matches and true matches among achieved matches for links of exit events happening at a rate of 1.2 per day (per 1,000 people) to 20,000 entry events occurring over a year, and demonstrates the change in the entry event match rate as the size of the match region is varied.
