An anonymized version of the binarized diagnosis code data from the RA1 and RA2 datasets, over both 6-year and 11-year time span.
Usage
data(RA)Format
5 objects
RA1_6y: an integer matrix of 0s and 1s containing 4,936 renamed diagnosis codes for 26,681 patients from the dataset RA1 recorded over a 6-year time span.RA2_6y: an integer matrix of 0s and 1s containing 4,936 renamed diagnosis codes for 5,707 patients from the dataset RA2 recorded over a 6-year time span.RA1_11y: an integer matrix of 0s and 1s containing 5,593 renamed diagnosis codes for 26,687 patients from the dataset RA1 recorded over a 11-year time span.RA2_11y: an integer matrix of 0s and 1s containing 5,593 renamed diagnosis codes for 6,394 patients from the dataset RA2 recorded over a 11-year time span.silverstandard_truematches: a character matrix with two columns containing the identifiers of the 3,831 pairs of silver-standard matches.
Details
The ICD-9 diagnosis codes have also been masked and randomly reordered, replaced by meaningless names. Finally, the silver-standard matching pairs are also provided to allow the benchmarking of methods for probabilistic record linkage using diagnosis codes.
