nigeria_acled: Subnational conflict events in Nigeria

In palsr: Projected Actor Locations for Spatial Interaction Modeling

Subnational conflict events in Nigeria

Description

Real dyadic conflict events in Nigeria, bundled from the replication archive for the authors' study, Kim, Liu and Desmarais (2023). Each row is a recorded interaction between two actors at a known date and location; this is the data on which the PALS method was developed and validated.

Usage

nigeria_acled

Format

A pal_events object (a data.frame subclass) with 1,549 rows and 5 columns:

actor1

Character name of the first actor in the dyad.

actor2

Character name of the second actor in the dyad.

time

Date of the event.

lon

Event longitude (decimal degrees).

lat

Event latitude (decimal degrees).

Details

These data are part of the publicly available replication materials for that study and can be downloaded directly from the Harvard Dataverse at \Sexpr[results=rd]{tools:::Rd_expr_doi("10.7910/DVN/NLWWPE")}.
