Births in France in 2000
From Didier Castille data

This dataset contains all births in France of year 2000.
  • Anonymous data
  • Birth day but no birth time
In 2020, at the initiative of Nick Kollerstrom, I (Thierry Graff) could contact Didier Castille and he sent us a sample of his data.
He agreed to make them publicly available online but asked to accompany the data with this notice:
These files are not INSEE files, they are INSEE files adapted by D. Castille.
These files are neither official nor scientifically valid because they depend on the good faith of D. Castille.

Execution

For this dataset, data.csv.bz2 can be loaded in memory. The computation of control groups doesn't use an auxiliary database.
To build a control group, the program loops on mother birth dates, randomly selects a father, then a child (a test is done to be sure that the child is born after the father and the mother), then a wedding date (a test is done to ensure that the wedding occurs after mother and father birth).
