Download V-Dem (Current Version)
Description
Download a copy of the most recent version of V-Dem that is housed
in the official vdemdata GitHub package.
Usage
get_vdem(write_out = FALSE)
Arguments
write_out
Logical to write the V-Dem dataset to your local directory.
Details
This function is a simple download wrapper to directly acquire
V-Dem's current dataset from their GitHub repo. The vdemdata package is not
available on CRAN or Bioconductor so it can disrupt workflows that do not
permit non-standard package installations. Additionally, this function
contains test scripts that will notify the package manager if the remote
dataset undergoes significant structural changes (dimensions, location, etc.)
Value
A data.frame of V-Dem data.
Examples
vdem <- demcon::get_vdem(write_out = FALSE)
