cbn_gender_name_stats_census1990
An object of class data.frame with 50 rows and 5 columns.
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.
