From 20aa0ec170447b1d631881b9ca9fb861d5e0bc8e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Max Ghenis Date: Sat, 14 Mar 2026 20:00:44 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 01/11] Include PUF aggregate records and inject high-income PUF records MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The CPS has -95% to -99% calibration errors for $5M+ AGI brackets. Two changes to fix this: 1. puf.py: Replace `puf = puf[puf.MARS != 0]` (which dropped $140B+ in weighted AGI) with `impute_aggregate_mars()` — a QRF trained on income variables imputes MARS; downstream QRF handles remaining demographics (age, gender, etc.) 2. extended_cps.py: Add `_inject_high_income_puf_records()` to append PUF records with AGI > $1M directly into the ExtendedCPS after all processing, giving the reweighter actual high-income observations.
