#' Determinants of Arab Public Opinion
#'
#' A reduced form of data set for reproducing an analysis on the determinants
#'  of Arab public opinion in seven countries toward 13 different countries.
#'
#' @format A data frame with 91 observations on the following variables.
#' \describe{
#' \item{\code{subjname}}{a three-character ISO code for the Arab (subject) country}
#' \item{\code{objname}}{an ALL-CAPS English name for the target/object country}
#' \item{\code{affect}}{an affect rating by the subject country to the object country}
#' \item{\code{capsub}}{the composite index of national capabilities (capability ratio) of the subject country}
#' \item{\code{capobj}}{the composite index of national capabilities (capability ratio) of the object country}
#' \item{\code{securtie}}{a dummy variable indicating at least an informal security tie between the subject and object}
#' \item{\code{export}}{the volume of exports from the subject to the object}
#' \item{\code{import}}{the volume of imports to the subject from the object}
#' \item{\code{subgdp}}{the gross domestic product (GDP) of the subject}
#' \item{\code{islam}}{a dummy variable that equals 1 if the object is a predominantly Muslim country}
#' \item{\code{west}}{a dummy variable that equals 1 if the object ia a Western country}
#' }

#' @details
#'
#' Exact coding issues/peculiarities are best addressed by reading the reference
#' article. To maximally reproduce the article's analyses, the user will need
#' to create some variables. The information is here, but you'll need to create
#' a variable for dyadic trade (and as a percentage of the subject's GDP),
#' GDP-adjusted imports, a means to filter out Israel from the analysis, and
#' some of the information reported in Table 1. However, I think this is a
#' learning experience for students.
