hi, is there a 'sounds like' function in Stata? I have a list of names of individuals of Indian origin, and I am trying to figure out if any of them sound like names in a master list.
Here is how my data looks:
Individual names
Joshi
Gupta
Tata
Asli
Names in Master:
Tatas
Alsi
I need to be able to figure out the following:
Joshi - No match
Gupta - No match
Tata - Tatas
Asli - Alsi
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
Dalhia
