GLESsmall {BTLLasso} | R Documentation |
Subset of the GLES data set with 200 observations and 4 covariates.
Description
This is a subset of the GLES
data set from the German
Longitudinal Election Study (GLES), see Rattinger et al. (2014). The subset contains
only 200 of the 2003 observations and only a small part of the covariates. The GLES is
a long-term study of the German electoral process. It collects pre- and
post-election data for several federal elections, the data used here
originate from the pre-election study for 2013.
Format
A list containing data from the German Longitudinal Election Study with 200 observations. The list contains both information on the response (paired comparisons) and different covariates.
- Y
A response.BTLLasso object for the GLES data including
response: Ordinal paired comparison response vector
first.object: Vector containing the first-named party per paired comparison
second.object: Vector containing the second-named party per paired comparison
subject: Vector containing a person identifier per paired comparison
with.order Automatically generated vector containing information on order effect. Irrelevant, because no order effect needs to be included in the analysis of GLES data.
- X
Matrix containing all eight person-specific covariates
Age: Age in years
Gender (0: male, 1: female)
- Z1
Matrix containing all four person-party-specific covariates
Climate: Self-perceived distance of each person to all five parties with respect to ones attitude towards climate change.
Immigration: Self-perceived distance of each person to all five parties with respect to ones attitude towards immigration.
