Data2015_01
Records, published measures, and models stay labeled apart.
Every case page names which of the three a figure is. This index is the key. The chapters already on the site are linked below.
RECORD
A count or a field copied from a source file. On this site that is usually the Supreme Court Database.
PUBLISHED MEASURE
A figure published by its authors and shown with their citation. Martin-Quinn scores are the ideology measure. This site does not estimate them.
FIRST TO FIVE MODEL
An estimate computed by First to Five. The party-type backcast is the model in this build. A case page prints it only when that case has a scored row.
In this build
Votes and case rows use Supreme Court Database release 2015_01. Ideology uses published Martin-Quinn scores. Outcome figures use the party-type backcast. Reasoning is the taxonomy only, with no classified opinions.
