Senate Vote Data

Description

The senate vote data contain 2508 observations ordered by time from 1989 to 2001, with a dimension of 100. The change point occurred on January 17th, 1995, at the beginning of the tenure of the 104th Congress when the Republican Party captured the US House of Representatives for the first time after 1956.

Usage

data("senate")

Format

A list containing the following items:

year:

A vector of length 2508, time labels.

X :

A matrix of dimension 2508 by 100, original data of senate votes.

Details

To generate the weighted adjacency matrix W, one simple take the matrix X and Compute: W_{ij}=\phi(X_i,X_j)=\frac{p_{00}-p_{+0}p_{0+}}{\sqrt{p_{0+}p_{1+}p_{+0}p_{+1}}} Where p_{rs}=\sum_i\sum_j I(X_i=r,X_j=s), r\in \{0,1\}; s \in \{0,1\}. And p_{+s}=\sum_r p_{rs}; \ p_{r+}=\sum_s p_{rs}. See the examples in main function LPSpectral for the codes.
