Remove Vietnamese from 1980 models #16

Closed AaronGullickson closed 3 years ago

AaronGullickson commented 3 years ago

The results for Vietnamese are clearly having estimation problems in 1980 because of the small size of this population. I think it is best to remove them from the 1980 data and the 1980 basis data in the ACS and then include them in the larger expanded ACS models.

I also want to expand this to think about the cases of Nepalese, Mongolian, and Bhutanese. These are very small groups and some question about where they fit in a South Asian/ESE Asian split. I mean thats part of what I am trying to highlight, but I can't really do anything with these groups specifically to highlight that because they are so small. So my initial thought is to drop them.

I definitely will remove Mongolians and Bhutanese for low sample size and some issues around identifying languages. I think I will drop Nepalese for similar reasons, although that group is bigger.
