Geographical Analysis Spatial Data
This georeferenced data set was used in:
Pace, R. Kelley, and Ronald Barry, Quick Computation of Regressions with a Spatially Autoregressive Dependent Variable, Geographical Analysis, Volume 29, Number 3, July 1997, p. 232-247.
It contains 3,107 observations on U.S. county votes cast in the 1980 presidential election. Specifically, it contains the total number of votes cast in the 1980 presidential election per county (VOTES), the population in each county of 18 years of age or older (POP), the population in each county with a 12th grade or higher education (EDUCATION), the number of owner-occupied housing units (HOUSES), the aggregate income (INCOME), the X spatial coordinate of the county (XCOORD), and the Y spatial coordinate of the county (YCOORD).
The dependent variable is the log of the proportion of votes cast for both candidates in the 1980 presidential election. Hence, we can express our dependent variable as ln(VOTES/ POP) = ln(VOTES)-ln(POP).
The overall data set has the following structure
[ln(VOTES/POP) POP EDUCATION HOUSES INCOME XCOORD YCOORD]
