This dataset is taken from Lipset (1959), as used by Rihoux and De Meur (2009), Cronqvist and Berg-Schlosser (2009) and Ragin (2009).
data(LR)
data(LC)
data(LM)
data(LF)A data frame containing 18 rows and the following 6 columns:
DEV | Level of development: it is the GDP per capita (USD) in the raw data, calibrated in the |
| binary crisp version to 0 if below 550 USD and 1 otherwise. For the multi-value crisp | |
| version, two thresholds were used: 550 and 850 USD. | |
URB | Level of urbanization: percent of the population in towns with 20000 or more |
| inhabitants, calibrated in the crisp versions to 0 if below 50% and 1 if above. | |
LIT | Level of literacy: percent of the literate population, calibrated in the crisp versions |
| to 0 if below 75% and 1 if above. | |
IND | Level of industrialization: percent of the industrial labor force, calibrated in the |
| crisp versions to 0 if below 30% and 1 if above. | |
STB | Government stability: a “political-institutional” condition added to the previous |
| four “socioeconomic” ones. The raw data has the number of cabinets which governed | |
| in the period under study, calibrated in the crisp versions to 0 if 10 or above and to 1 | |
| if below 10. | |
SURV | Outcome: survival of democracy during the inter-war period: calibrated to 0 if negative, |
| and 1 if positive raw data. |
There are four different versions of the Lipset data:
LR | contains the raw data |
LC | is the same data calibrated to binary crisp sets |
LM | is calibrated to multi-value sets |
LF | is calibrated to fuzzy-sets |
