Abstract:A new proportional weighting algorithm is proposed to bridge multiple-race counts to single-race estimates based on 2010 Decennial Census data. The proposed weighting method is based on Census data alone with traceable procedure and reproducible results. It enables researchers to estimate population size of any race category of interest at any level of granularity stratified by other demographic information available in the Census data. If researchers have specific criteria or priorities for classifying certain races, the proposed algorithm can be easily modified to meet their specific needs. The new algorithm provides an intuitive and straightforward alternative for determining single-race population estimates. As an illustration of this approach, we provide the population estimates of the five most populous ethnic groups in Hawaii using the 2010 Census data.

使用多种族人口普查数据进行单种族人口估计的比例加权算法

摘要：基于 2010 年十年人口普查数据，提出了一种新的比例加权算法，将多种族计数与单种族估计值联系起来。建议的加权方法仅基于人口普查数据，具有可追溯的程序和可重复的结果。它使研究人员能够在由人口普查数据中可用的其他人口统计信息分层的任何粒度级别上估计任何感兴趣的种族类别的人口规模。如果研究人员对某些种族进行分类有特定的标准或优先级，则可以轻松修改所提出的算法以满足他们的特定需求。新算法为确定单种族人口估计提供了一种直观而直接的替代方法。作为这种方法的说明，
