{isard} contains some data for use in quantitative peace
science applications. CRAN has understandable, if strict, requirements
about package size. Data, more than functions, push package sizes to
their limits. {isard} will have some overflow data that
could use for a variety of quantitative peace science applications in
the R programming language. The particular data sets included here will
focus mostly on those lengthy in size (i.e. the state-year data sets)
and those that may require some periodic maintenance and updates.
Estimates of democracy and economic size/wealth, in particular, are data
that are both large in size and improve/extend over time. Those data,
and more, are included here.
Ideally, this would be on CRAN. Until then, or if you want development versions of this package, you can also install it from Github as follows.
devtools::install_github("svmiller/isard")
