Abstract
A system determines a name probability based on a first name dataset frequency of a first name value stored by a first name field in a personal record and a last name dataset frequency of a last name value stored by a last name field in a personal record. The system determines at least one other probability based on another dataset frequency of another value stored by another field in the personal record and an additional dataset frequency of an additional value stored by an additional field in the personal record. The system determines a combined probability based on the name probability and the at least one other probability. The system increments a count of identifiable personal records for each personal record that has a corresponding combined probability that satisfies an identifiability threshold. The system outputs a message based on the count of identifiable personal records.
