R Script/Stata do files

R Script to Replicate Some Models in "Order Matters"

Stata do file to Replicate Some Models from "Order Matters." (Saved as a plain text file)

Stata do file to replicate results from Table 1 of 2005 Branton and Jones (Saved as a plain text file. Note, original data were lost as was original do files.  I’ve reconstructed the do files.  They will work in conjunction with data set below. Variable descriptions are in do file.)

R Script to replicate models for count data

R Script for Kaplan-Meier Estimates

R Script for Parametric Models

R Script for Cox models

 

Data Sets (Unless otherwise noted, data are in Stata 9.2 format; R Script provides conversion code)

NES data on affirmative action (used in "Order Matters")

NES data on immigration attitudes (used in "Order Matters")

Fred Boehmke's data from 2005 PRQ

Core data file for 2005 AJPS (Branton and Jones) (Stata 9.2 data file.  Note I lost original data and had

to reconstruct. I am continuing the reconstruction phase but this is what I have thus far).
