get_correction_factors

The range of years. This value will be passed to it by the
gender_ssa function.

years

The SSA data is skewed by gender, especially for years before 1935. This
internal function figures out the factor by which the gender ratio should be
multiplied in order to assume that the ratio of male to female births for
those years was 1:1.

Encodes gender based on names and dates of birth, using either the
    Social Security Administration's data set of first names by year of birth
    or the Census Bureau data from 1789 to 1940, both from the United States of
    America. By using these data sets instead of lists of male and female names,
    this package is able to more accurately guess the gender of a name, and it
    is able to report the probability that a name was male or female.
