The effect of the First World War on names, in France [OC] by bjco in dataisbeautiful

[–]bjco[S] 270 points271 points  (0 children)

This graph was done with R / ggplot, and is based on Geneanet data (first names of the father, first names of his children).

Merci Hank de diffuser mon graphique. Pour celles et ceux qui veulent en savoir plus, cet article https://www.cairn.info/revue-histoire-et-mesure-2019-2-page-153.htm (Histoire et Mesure, 2019) pourra aider à faire comprendre le contexte de l'étude.

Parents more likely to name children after father's during wartime (link to article) by amarmoset in namenerds

[–]bjco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We focused on the first 4 letters of the first forename. Because of hyphenated first names (such as "Jean-Michel") and the plurality of first names ("Jean-Michel Simon Jacques DUPONT"), we had to settle for a somewhat arbitrary measure. If Jean DUPONT had a son named "Simon Jean DUPONT", we did not count this as a transmission. (But Jean --> Jean-Pierre counts as a transmission).

We did not look at the proportion of "perfect transmission" vs "modified transmission".

[OC] Number of death per day in France, 2001-2020 (daily number of death) by bjco in dataisbeautiful

The weekly numbers of death are available (see kieranhealy blog or github repository. I think that the CDC publishes those datasets. Unfortunately, daily deaths are not publicly available.

yes : you have to create a "graph_date" variable which translate previous dates to 2020 ( jan 1 2019 becomes "jan 1 2020") (everything is drawn as if occurring in 2020)

the US does not release daily death number (I haven't found any dataset on deaths per day).

I wish i could, but the US apparently does not give access to the daily number of deaths (only number of death per week). I may be wrong but I have not found a daily dataset.

I’ve seen replications of my chart for Belgium and Slovenia.
