Defining Fuzzy Models Using Decision Tables

What’s the likelihood of these being the same person:

1. abdul khalek,abu zaid, a 6’ male, age 37, green eyes, weight 230lbs, living in Boise Idaho
2. abdolkalak,abou zid who is 5’10”, age 35, weight 200lbs, living in Boyse, Idago?

We therefore need to consider many factors Is #1 more recent data? – hence the higher age and weight gain Is #2 a simple typo for Boise, Idaho? (adjacent characters on keyboard) Are the names similar enough?
