fips_extract

This function will split up a column of FIPS codes into several columns, each
containing the individual code at different units. It is agnostic to the
level of the FIPS codes (i.e., FIPS codes are not required to be 15 digits
long). However, this function assumes that all FIPS codes begin at the state
level of precision.

Provides a comprehensive suite of tools for estimating the candidate preferences of racial/ethnic voting blocs in elections. Includes functions for predicting voter race/ethnicity and conducting ecological inference. Race/ethnicity prediction builds on race prediction developed by Imai et al. (2016) <doi:10.1093/pan/mpw001>. Ecological inference methods are based on King (1997) <ISBN: 0691012407>, <https://gking.harvard.edu/eicamera/kinroot.html>; King et. al. (2004) <ISBN: 0521542804>, <https://gking.harvard.edu/files/abs/ecinf04-abs.shtml>.
