This dataset is taken from Lipset (1959), as used by Rihoux and De Meur (2009), Cronqvist and Berg-Schlosser (2009) and Ragin (2009).

A data frame containing 18 rows and the following 6 columns:

`DEV`	Level of development: it is the GDP per capita (USD) in the raw data, calibrated in the
	binary crisp version to 0 if below 550 USD and 1 otherwise. For the multi-value crisp
	version, two thresholds were used: 550 and 850 USD.
`URB`	Level of urbanization: percent of the population in towns with 20000 or more
	inhabitants, calibrated in the crisp versions to 0 if below 50% and 1 if above.
`LIT`	Level of literacy: percent of the literate population, calibrated in the crisp versions
	to 0 if below 75% and 1 if above.
`IND`	Level of industrialization: percent of the industrial labor force, calibrated in the
	crisp versions to 0 if below 30% and 1 if above.
`STB`	Government stability: a “political-institutional” condition added to the previous
	four “socioeconomic” ones. The raw data has the number of cabinets which governed
	in the period under study, calibrated in the crisp versions to 0 if 10 or above and to 1
	if below 10.
`SURV`	Outcome: survival of democracy during the inter-war period: calibrated to 0 if negative,
	and 1 if positive raw data.

There are four different versions of the Lipset data:

`LR`	contains the raw data
`LC`	is the same data calibrated to binary crisp sets
`LM`	is calibrated to multi-value sets
`LF`	is calibrated to fuzzy-sets
