Project Description
These files include data and code used to create tables and figures for "Combining Family History and Machine Learning to Link Historical Records: The Census Tree Data Set" (citation below). We have included the truth set that we use to train our model along with the machine learning code we use to link records using this truth set. Our truth set includes histid pairs between the different census records, which can be combined with the restricted versions of the full-count census records that are distributed through the University of Minnesota.
