Description
This data set contains gender information only for names used in
WEFAT 2. It is a slightly normalized version of the original Dataverse
materials.
Usage
1
Format
An object of class data.frame with 50 rows and 5 columns.
Details
The columns are name, gender.score a numerical score derived
(somehow) using -1 to be female, 0 to mean unisex, and 1 to mean male,
and percentage.in.population, percentage.in.male.population,
and percentage.in.female.population. Apparently these three are
some measure of the prevalence of the name in the US population and two
gender subpopulations.
The original materials are a tab separated file located at
system.file("extdata", "censusNames1990.tsv", package = "cbn").
Presumably some Bayes theorem with the addition of the population gender
balance recreates the quantity of substantive interest: P(gender | name).
This has not been done.
