Build settings for fuzzy matching — build_fuzzy

build_fuzzy_settings is a convenient way to build the list for the fuzzy settings argument in merge_plus

build_fuzzy_settings(
  method = "jw",
  p = 0.1,
  maxDist = 0.05,
  matchNA = FALSE,
  nthread = getOption("sd_num_thread")
)

Arguments

method: character vector of length 1. Either one of the methods listed in stringdist::amatch, or our custom method 'wgt_jaccard.' See the vignettes for more details.
p: numeric vector of length 1. See stringdist::amatch()
maxDist: numeric vector of length 1. See stringdist::amatch()
matchNA: whether or not to match on NAs, see stringdist::amatch()
nthread: number of threads to use in the underlying C code.

a list containing options for the 'fuzzy_settings' argument of merge_plus.
