... Probabilistic record linkage methodology is imperative if computers are to consistently and effectively replicate the evaluation and judgment process of human clerks attempting to link common records. The ideal goal is to have the computer emulate the intuitive thought process of a human being as they might review, judge, evaluate, measure, and score linkage qualifications of records representing cmmonality.
