Scores new records against the data already loaded into a trained model. Useful for real-time or incremental matching where new records arrive after the model has been trained.
Arguments
- model
A trained
il_modelobject.- new_records
A data frame, dbplyr::tbl_lazy, or character table name of new records to match against the model's existing data.
- threshold
A numeric value between 0 and 1. Only matches at or above this probability are returned. Defaults to
0.85.
