IR90s

A relational dataset recording
a variety of nodal and dyadic variables on countries in the 1990s,
including information on conflicts, trade and other variables.
Except for the conflict variable, the variables are averages
across the decade.

Analysis of dyadic network and relational data using additive and
multiplicative effects (AME) models. The basic model includes
regression terms, the covariance structure of the social relations model
(Warner, Kenny and Stoto (1979), Wong (1982)), and multiplicative factor
models (Hoff(2009)). Four different link functions accommodate different
relational data structures, including binary/network data (bin), normal
relational data (nrm), ordinal relational data (ord) and data from
fixed-rank nomination schemes (frn).  Several of these link functions are
discussed in Hoff, Fosdick, Volfovsky and Stovel (2013). Development of this
software was supported in part by NIH grant R01HD067509.
