• FUZZY matching in SPSS: Which method it implements?

    From SFC@21:1/5 to All on Tue Oct 15 20:00:45 2019
    Hi All,

    I am trying to find which method the SPSS FUZZY implements in case control matching. Is this the one being used in FUZZY?

    Thanks.

    The regular SPSS algorithms are documented in one place,
    which you can find by Googling < SPSS algorithms >.

    But FUZZY is (I gather from Google) and "extension"
    command. I would expect that those algorithms are
    documented somewhere. I think that if it uses the
    reference that you cite, the downloaded code itself
    would include credit to those authors, at the very least.
