These data files contain the observed casualties in the American Indian Wars. The data sets
<code>native_american</code> and <code>us_american</code> contain the casualties on the Native American and US American
sides respectively. Each data set is a data frame, with two columns: the number of casualities and the
conflict date.

native_american

This package implements both the discrete and continuous maximum
    likelihood estimators for fitting the power-law distribution to data.
    Additionally, a goodness-of-fit based approach is used to estimate the
    lower cut-off for the scaling region.
