2.3 Date Matching

This section date matching details.

The following steps occurs in Date Matching:

  • Derive Year of Birth (v_yob) from date of births attributes.
  • Find minimum (v_min_yob) and maximum (v_max_yob) values from v_yob.
  • Replace null/empty for v_min_yob with 9999 and v_max_yob with 1111.
  • Match customer records against watchlist records within +/- 5 years range.
  • For SAN records score is boosted if a match is within range of (v_min_yob - 5) to (v_max_yob + 5) years.
  • For PEP/EDD records matches are eliminated if it is outside the range of (v_min_yob - 5) to (v_max_yob + 5) years.
