Run on Dimensionality of Nations data #179

Open ThomasColthurst opened 2 months ago

This is a real world test/use for Model 1. The HIRM paper ran on this data, but with the continuous variables thresholded at their means and one-of-n coding for the categorical variables. We should be able to use both variables as-is.

Data is from R. J. Rummel. Dimensionality of nations project: Attributes of nations and behavior of nation dyads, 1950-1965. Technical Report ICPSR 5409, Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research, 1999 and can be downloaded at https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/web/ICPSR/studies/5409

That download link will only actually give you the data if you are affiliated with a ICPSR member instutition. MIT is so affiliated; Google is not.

This means that we probably can't put this data in our repository, either.
