Description

For non-Hispanic respondents who reported American Indian/Alaska Native and another federally defined race in the 2000 census, 2010 census, or the ACS, PREDAI represents the results of an equation predicting whether they would have reported only their American Indian/Alaska Native race group if asked for a single-race response. Non-Hispanic people reporting only “some other race” may be allocated a non-zero value of PREDAI.

PREDAI ranges between 0 and 1. Non-Hispanic single-race American Indian and Alaska Native people have a value of 1 for PREDAI. People who reported American Indian/Alaska Native and “some other race” also have a value of 1 in accordance with the procedure described in Ingram, et al. (2003). Other single-race respondents and Hispanic American Indian/Alaska Native people have a value of 0 for PREDAI.

For every person, the sum of PREDAI, PREDAPI, PREDBLK, PREDHISP, and PREDWHT is 1.0. The highest of these values determines the value of RACHSING. For an explanation of how these variables are calculated, see RACHSING.

See also PREDAPI, PREDBLK, PREDHISP, PREDWHT, and RACHSING.

PREDAI is an 8-digit numeric variable. PREDAI has seven implied decimals. For example, a PREDAI value of 10000000 should be interpreted as 1. The IPUMS command files automatically make the necessary adjustment, so no further adjustment is needed.

PREDAI Specific Variable Codes
0 = Non-American Indian/Alaska Native respondents or Hispanic American Indian/Alaska Native respondents
1 = Non-Hispanic single-race American Indian/Alaska Native respondents or non-Hispanic respondents reporting American Indian/Alaska Native and “some other race.”
