		Post-Linkage Data Analysis // Provides a suite of statistical
		tools for post-linkage data analysis (PLDA), designed to
		account for record linkage errors in downstream modeling. The
		package implements a familiar, formula-based regression
		interface that adjusts for linkage uncertainty, accommodating
		workflows where direct access to unlinked primary files is
		restricted. It consolidates diverse adjustment methodologies,
		all of which support generalized linear models (linear,
		logistic, Poisson, and Gamma). These methodologies include
		weighting approaches (Chambers (2009)

		(2023) doi:10.1002/wics.1596), mixture modeling (Slawski et al.
		(2025) doi:10.1093/jrsssa/qnae083), and Bayesian mixture
		modeling (Gutman et al. (2016) doi:10.1002/sim.6586). For time-
		to-event data, both the weighting (Vo et al. (2024)
		doi:10.1002/sim.9960) and mixture modeling approaches
		accommodate Cox proportional hazards models, while the Bayesian
		approaches extend to parametric survival analysis.
		Additionally, the package leverages mixture modeling for
		contingency table analyses and Bayesian methods to enable the
		multiple imputation of latent match status.
