Data from A.-M. Guerry, "Essay on the Moral Statistics of France"DescriptionAndre-Michel Guerry (1833) was the first to systematically collect and analyze social data on such things as crime, literacy and suicide with the view to determining social laws and the relations among these variables. The Guerry data frame comprises a collection of 'moral variables' on the 86 departments of France around 1830. A few additional variables have been added from other sources. Usagedata(Guerry) FormatA data frame with 86 observations (the departments of France) on the following 23 variables.
DetailsNote that most of the variables (e.g., Values for the quantitative variables displayed on Guerry's maps were taken from Table A2 in the English translation of Guerry (1833) by Whitt and Reinking. Values for the ranked variables were taken from Table A1, with some corrections applied. The maximum is indicated by rank 1, and the minimum by rank 86. SourceAngeville, A. (1836).
