Zusammenfassung:Determining whether two merchant location database entries are describing the same merchant location. A subject merchant location database entry and comparison candidate merchant location database entries include a DBA name field, a street address field, and one or more additional descriptive fields descriptive of one or more predetermined characteristics of the respective merchant location. The subject merchant location database entry is compared to a set populated with candidate merchant location database entries, candidates having a predetermined minimum textural similarity with the subject merchant location database entry on the basis of each entry's DBA name field or street address field. The subject merchant location database entry is compared with each of the candidate database entries on the basis of the one or more additional descriptive fields, and a logistic regression is performed using the results of the comparing, in order to calculate a probability that the database entries refer to the same merchant location.
