FUZZY matching in SPSS: Which method it implements?

[SFC]

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.
