[R] statistics and R package for election results

2009-10-08 Thread Damjan Krstajic

Dear all,

Is there any R package which would help in analysing election results between 
two elections? Does anybody know any good papers which are related to this 
field? I am a statistician and my main research area so far has been regression 
and classification modelling. The analysis of two election results is new to me.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards
DK

What are you trying to find out from your analysis and what techniques do you 
have in mind for doing it?

It might be as well to sort out this first (and tell us if you have) rather 
than look round for a package first and then decide on what you want to do in 
the analysis.

Having said all that, though, I'd be surprised if everything you need is not in 
the 'stats' package.  Perhaps the nnet package might also be useful if you want 
 multinomial models, (but you could even handle these with glm() in the stats 
package also).  Both stats and nnet come standard with R.
