This chart shows how the partial match weights in a Splink linker.match_weights_chart (see here) are related to Bayes Factors and probabilities.


Caveat: the 'probability' is really only defined if a prior exists. For the above chart, the prior is assumed to be 50%.










Also check the match weight calculator to more precisely calculate match weights, probabilities, and Bayes factors.
