Using support vector machines for measuring democracy
Gründler, Klaus; Krieger, Tommy - 2015
We present a novel approach for measuring democracy, which enables a very detailed and sensitive index. This method is based on Support Vector Machines, a mathematical algorithm for pattern recognition. Our implementation evaluates 188 countries in the period between 1981 and 2011. The Support...
