error corrected sample weights’. However, we should note that the presence
of sample weights usually implies that the source only covers a (very) small
part of the population, so when multiple sources contain sample weights the
probability of matches becomes low, leading to very low cell counts and an
unreliable PSE. How exactly sample weights can be combined with linkage and
linkage error correction requires further research.
