Object icons_matrix
is a matrix of nine rows and six columns,
one column for each of six icons relevant to climate change. The
matrix entries show the number of respondents who indicated which icon
they found most concerning. The nine rows show different classes of
respondents who were exposed to different subsets (of size four) of
the six icons.
The columns correspond to the different stimulus icons used, detailed
below. An extensive discussion is given in West and Hankin 2008, and
Hankin 2010; an updated analysis is given in the icons
vignette.
Object icons
is the corresponding likelihood function, which
can be created with saffy(icons_matrix)
.
The object is used in inst/ternaryplot_hyper2.Rmd
which shows a
ternary plot of random samples.
data(icons)
The six icons were used in this study were:
polar bears, which face extinction through loss of ice floe hunting grounds
The Norfolk Broads, which flood due to intense rainfall events
London flooding, as a result of sea level rise
The Thermo-haline circulation, which may slow or stop as a result of anthropogenic modification of the hydrological cycle
Oceanic acidification as a result of anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide
The West Antarctic Ice Sheet, which is calving into the sea as a result of climate change
