State.FIPS


This dataset contains the two-digit FIPS code for all 50 U.S. states, territories, and the District of Columbia.


This open-source software package enables researchers to predict
individual ethnicity using his/her surname, geolocation, and other attributes
such as gender and age. The method utilizes the Bayes' rule to compute the
posterior probability of each racial category for any given individual voter.
The package implements methods described in Imai and Khanna (2015) "Improving
Ecological Inference by Predicting Individual Ethnicity from Voter Registration
Records" <DOI:10.1093/pan/mpw001>.
