Match Analysis by Country

The Global Address Validation Match Analysis by Country Report provides address matching summary statistics for each country processed in your job. For instructions on how to use reports, see the Spectrum™ Technology Platform Dataflow Designer's Guide.

Summary of Matched Elements

This section contains summary information on matched elements for each country.

Total country records: The total number of input records processed for the country listed.
House number matched: The number and the percentage of records that matched on the house number.
Street name matched: The number and the percentage of records that matched on the street name.
City name matched: The number and the percentage of records that matched on the city name.
Postal code matched: The number and the percentage of records that matched on the postal code.
State/Province matched: The number and the percentage of records that matched on the state/province.

Precision Code Counts

This section provides statistics on the number and the percentage of records in your job that matched for each precision code. The precision code describes the level of precision for each record's address match.

Note: The "Precision code counts" section on the Match Analysis Report only displays when you check the Precision output option.

Precision Code Z Category

The Z category indicates that a match was made at the postal code level. A postal code match is returned in either of these cases:

You specified to match to postal code. The resulting match is located at the postal code with the following possible accuracy levels.
There is no street level match and you specified to fall back to postal code.

Precision Code Z1: The number and percentage of records that match to the ZIP Code or postal code 1.
Precision Code Z2: The number and percentage of records that result in a ZIP + 2 or partial match to postal code 2.
Precision Code Z3: The number and percentage of records that match to ZIP + 4 or postal code 2.

Precision Code G Category

Geographic level candidates return a precision code beginning with the letter G. The number following the G in the precision code provides more detailed information on the accuracy of the match.

Precision Code G1: The number and percentage of records that match to state/province (area name 1).
Precision Code G2: The number and percentage of records that match to county/region (area name 2).
Precision Code G3: The number and percentage of records that match to city/town (area name 3).
Precision Code G4: The number and percentage of records that match to suburb/village (area name 4).

Precision Code S Category

Street level candidates return a precision code beginning with the letter S. The character following the S in the precision code provides more detailed information on the accuracy of the match.

Precision Code SX: The number and percentage of records that validated at a street intersection.
Precision Code SC: The number and percentage of records that matched at the house-level that has been projected from the nearest segment.
Precision Code S0: The number and percentage of records where parts of the address may have matched the source data.
Precision Code S4: The number and percentage of records that matched at the street level.
Precision Code S5: The number and percentage of records that matched to the street address.
Precision Code S7: The number and percentage of records that matched to a street address that was interpolated between houses.
Precision Code S8: The number and percentage of records that matched to the street address or house number.

For more information about the S precision code, see the Global Address Validation Output section.

Confidence Levels

This section provides a graphical representation of the percentage of records for each country that matched at different confidence levels. The confidence level assigned to a returned address ranges from zero (0) to 100. Zero indicates failure. 100 indicates a very high level of confidence that the match results are correct.

Note: The confidence levels are calculated as a percentage of matched records. Input records that fail (Status.Code=F) and do not match are not included in the confidence level calculations and are not included in the confidence level graph on the report.

Confidence level less than 40: The percentage of records that match at a confidence level less than 40 (low).
Confidence level 40-85: The percentage of records that match at a confidence level between 40 and 85 (medium).
Confidence level greater than 85: The percentage of records that match at a confidence level greater than 85 (high).

Summary of Matched Elements for: Unknown

This section of the report provides matching statistics on records for which the input country code was not recognized and the country was not determined via address match.

Note: This section only displays when the output from your job includes records that did not match on country.

Precision Code Counts for: Unknown

This section provides matching precision statistics on records for which the input country code was not recognized and the country was not determined via address match. The precision code describes the level of precision for each record's address match.

Note: The "Precision code counts" section on the Match Analysis Report only displays when you check the Precision output option.

Summary of Matched Elements for: All Countries

This section of the report provides matching statistics for all input addresses that matched on country for all countries combined.

Precision Code Counts for: All Countries

This section provides matching precision statistics for all input addresses that matched on country for all countries combined. The precision code describes the level of precision for each record's address match.

Note: The "Precision code counts" section on the Match Analysis Report only displays when you check the Precision output option.
