Description: Probabilistically link records that refer to the same
        entities across two data sources without a unique identifier,
        using partially identifying variables such as product code,
        brand, category, birth year, sex or postal code. 'FlexRL'
        implements a Stochastic Expectation Maximisation (StEM)
        approach to Record Linkage (Robach et al., 2025,
        <doi:10.1093/jrsssc/qlaf016>). The model accounts for
        registration errors (missing values and mistakes) and for
        variables that change over time, enforces one-to-one
        assignment, and has a low memory footprint. The package also
        provides tools for inference on linked data: two estimators of
        the false discovery proportion of a linkage (Robach et al.,
        2025, <doi:10.1002/sim.70292>), based on linkage scores and on
        synthetic data, and diagnostics comparing the linked sample
        with the source data. These tools also apply on the linkage
        output of other record linkage packages.
