Description: An R package for iterative and batched record linkage, and
        applying epidemiological case definitions. 'diyar' can be used
        for deterministic and probabilistic record linkage, or
        multistage record linkage combining both approaches. It
        features the implementation of nested match criteria, and
        mechanisms to address missing data and conflicting matches
        during stepwise record linkage. Case definitions are
        implemented by assigning records to groups based on match
        criteria such as person or place, and overlapping time or
        duration of events e.g. sample collection dates or periods of
        hospital stays. Matching records are assigned a unique group
        ID. Index and duplicate records are removed or further analyses
        as required.
