Description: Infers state-recorded gender categories from first names
        and dates of birth using historical datasets. By using these
        datasets instead of lists of male and female names, this
        package is able to more accurately infer the gender of a name,
        and it is able to report the probability that a name was male
        or female. GUIDELINES: This method must be used cautiously and
        responsibly. Please be sure to see the guidelines and warnings
        about usage in the 'README' or the package documentation. See
        Blevins and Mullen (2015)
