Let's say you have authors William Smith, Bill Smith, and William S. Smith. You come to the conclusion (perhaps with the help of Find Duplicates) that they're the same person. You decide the name you'll 'keep' is William Smith.
In Manage Authors change William S. Smith (in the Author column) to William Smith and do the same to Bill Smith. Use F2 to get into cell edit mode, hit enter to stop editing in a cell. Make sure you exit Manage Authors via the OK button. That's all there is to it, the books that were 'under' William S. Smith and Bill Smith will now be 'under' William Smith.
You can also change author names etc in the Tag Browser by right clicking on an entry and choosing the Rename option.
If you want to keep the different author names, you could try using User Categories or Group Searches to 'tie them together'. Whilst those options didn't suit me, they might suit you.
