ISBN: 9780844742632 / Angielski / Miękka / 207 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Spatial Models of Parliamentary Voting
ISBN: 9780521851947 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book presents a geometric voting model for analyzing parliamentary roll call data.

On every roll call each legislator votes for the closer outcome point, at least probabilistically. These points form a spatial map that summarizes the roll calls. In this sense a spatial map is much like a road map because it visually depicts the political world of a legislature. These maps can be used to study a wide variety of topics related to...
