R RecordLinkage Identity
<p>I am working with RecordLinkage Library in R.
I have a data frame with id, name, phone, mail</p>

<p>My code looks like this:</p>

<pre><code>ids = data$id
pairs = compare.dedup(data, identity=ids, blockfld=as.list(2,3,4))
</code></pre>

<p>The problem is that my ids are not the same in my result output
so if I had this data:</p>

<pre><code>id   Name     Phone    Mail
233  Nathali  2222     nathali@dd.com
435  Nathali  2222 
553  Jean     3444     jean@dd.com
</code></pre>

<p>In my result output I will have something like</p>

<pre><code>id1 id2
1   2
</code></pre>

<p>Instead of</p>

<pre><code>id1 id2
233 435 
</code></pre>

<p>I want to know if there is a way to keep the ids instead of the index, or someone could explain me the identity parameter.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
