manifestoR (version 1.0-4)
Access and Process Data and Documents of the Manifesto Project
Description
Provides access to coded election programmes from
the Manifesto Corpus and to the Manifesto Project's Main Dataset. The Manifesto
Project (https://manifesto-project.wzb.eu) collects and analyses election
programmes across time and space to measure the political preferences
of parties. The Manifesto Corpus contains the collected
and annotated election programmes in the Corpus format of the package 'tm' to enable
easy use of text processing and text mining functionality. Specific functions
for scaling of coded political texts are included.
