Software and Data Sources
The simulation model was coded and run using MATLAB R2009b. STATA 10.1/IC for
Macintosh was used for all data analysis. Ideal point estimates in Chapter 6 were generated
using the pscl package with R version 2.14.1 for Mac OS X. Some data from MATLAB and
STATA was ported into Excel for Mac 2011 the purpose of creating graphs and figures. All
code and data are available from the author upon request in these formats.
