Overview
RANDE NY estimates the most likely race/ethnicity of individuals from name and New York address using a published LSTM + geography model refined by 5-fold gradient-boosted soft-voting. Deploy it as a SageMaker real-time endpoint or Batch Transform in your own AWS account - your input records never leave your account and the vendor never sees your data. Default output is privacy-aware aggregate summaries by census tract and ZCTA (4 classes - White/Black/Hispanic/Asian - plus an explicit "unclassified" residual, with shares); per-row predictions with calibrated probability weights are available on request via a custom-attributes header. Method reproduces peer-reviewed accuracy that exceeds BISG/BIFSG with lower false-positive bias.
Highlights
- Runs in the buyer's account (real-time endpoint or Batch Transform); inputs/PII never egress.
- Aggregate-by-geography output by default (tract/ZCTA shares) to minimize per-record exposure; per-row weights via mode=rows.
- Four reliable classes plus an explicit "unclassified" residual (Native/Other not reliably predictable); New York State scope; documented limitations.

Version release notes
Initial release. RANDE NY race/ethnicity imputation for New York State. Input: CSV of name + NY address (fname,mname,lname,housenumber,street,city,state,zip). Output: privacy-preserving aggregate race/ethnicity summaries by census tract and ZCTA (White/Black/Hispanic/Asian + unclassified residual) by default; per-row predictions with probability weights available via the custom-attributes header (mode=rows). Deploy as a real-time endpoint or Batch Transform; data stays in your account. Methodology exceeds BISG/BIFSG accuracy with lower false-positive bias.
Additional details
Inputs
- Summary
CSV with a header row; one individual per row. Columns: fname,mname,lname,housenumber,street,city,state,zip. The name fields drive the name-based model; the New York street address (or at minimum city/ZIP) adds geographic signal. Any extra columns are passed through unchanged in per-row output. Scope: New York State (state = NY). Default response is aggregate tract/ZCTA summaries; set request header X-Amzn-SageMaker-Custom-Attributes: mode=rows for per-row predictions.
