Abstract
Invited Discussion of "A Unified Framework for De-Duplication and Population Size Estimation", published in Bayesian Analysis. My discussion focuses on two main themes: Providing a more nuanced picture of the costs and benefits of joint models for record linkage and the "downstream task" (i.e. whatever we might want to do with the linked and de-duplicated files), and how we should measure performance.
