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)
