1. A computer implemented method for matching data records from multiple entities comprising:
- providing respective transaction logs for the entities representing actions performed by or in respect of the entities;
determining a matching score using the transaction logs for respective pairs of the entities and for predetermined combinations of merged entities by generating a measure representing a gain in behavior recognition for the entities before and after merging, and using the gain as a matching score.

10. A computer program embedded on a non-transitory tangible computer readable storage medium, the computer program including machine readable instructions that, when executed by a processor, implement a method for matching data records from multiple entities comprising:
-
providing respective transaction logs for the entities representing actions performed by or in respect of the entities; determining a matching score using the transaction logs for respective pairs of the entities and for predetermined combinations of merged entities by generating a measure representing a gain in behavior recognition for the entities before and after merging, and using the gain as a matching score. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method for matching records from multiple sources, comprising:
-
determining a coarse match for records using a value representing a period of occurrence of certain actions for an entity including data from a merged pair of sources; for a match above a predetermined threshold, using a statistical model to determine a final matching score.
