Description: Implements a Fellegi-Sunter probabilistic record linkage
        model that allows for missing data and the inclusion of
        auxiliary information. This includes functionalities to conduct
        a merge of two datasets under the Fellegi-Sunter model using
        the Expectation-Maximization algorithm. In addition, tools for
        preparing, adjusting, and summarizing data merges are included.
        The package implements methods described in Enamorado, Fifield,
        and Imai (2019) ''Using a Probabilistic Model to Assist Merging
        of Large-scale Administrative Records''
        <doi:10.1017/S0003055418000783> and is available at
