How well does NamSor perform in predicting the country of origin and ethnicity of individuals based on their first and last names?
Paul SeboPublished in: PloS one (2023)
NamSor is accurate in determining the continent of origin, especially when using the modified variable (continent#2) and/or restricting the analysis to names with accuracy ≥50%. The risk of misclassification is higher with country of origin or ethnicity, but decreases, as with continent of origin, when using the modified variable (country#2) and/or the subsample.
