Variators¶
A variator creates variations of a single record. ThresholdMatcher can produce different similarity
scores for different variations of the same record, discarding all but the highest score in the final result.
This is very useful in situations where values are not put into the correct columns (e.g. when a person’s first
name and last name are swapped).
- class datamatch.variators.Variator¶
Base class of all variator classes.
Sub-class should override method
variations().This class also serves as a no-op variator. It simply returns the record as is.
- variations(sr)¶
Returns variations of the input record.
- Parameters
sr (
pandas.Series) – The input record.- Return type
