ABSTRACT:
Various exemplary systems and methods for linking entity references and identifying associations are presented. In particular, a method is provided for linking a plurality of entity references to at least one entity. The method comprises the steps of evaluating a probability of a match between a first entity reference and a second entity reference based at least in part on a statistical significance of one or more field values being common to both the first entity reference and the second entity reference, wherein field value statistical significance is inversely related to a number of field value occurrences occurring in some or all of the plurality of entity references and linking the first entity reference with the second entity reference when the probability is greater than or equal to a match threshold.
