Impute Ethnicity/Race

Description

Calculates posterior probabilities for individual ethnorace categories using the Naive Bayes algorithm. Also returns highest probability ethnorace as a new character column in the data frame.

Usage

impute_ethnorace(input_data, bper_data = NULL, year, census_key, ...)

Arguments

input_data	The input data frame containing the individuals whose ethnorace the user wants to impute. The following input variables are supported: last_name, first_name, age, sex, party, multi_unit, state, county, zip, place, tract, district, block.
bper_data	The data list containing ethnorace conditional probabilities. If left empty, will default to downloading directly from Census API. Use the function load_bper_data to save this data list ahead of time.
year	The year for which Census data will be loaded. The function will retrieve the closest available Census data for the year.
census_key	Personal Census API key. See https://api.census.gov/data/key_signup.html
