On this Picostat.com statistics page, you will find information about the Quarrels data set which pertains to Statistics of Deadly Quarrels. The Quarrels data set is found in the HistData R package. Try to load the Quarrels data set in R by issuing the following command at the console data("Quarrels"). This may load the data into a variable called Quarrels. If R says the Quarrels data set is not found, you can try installing the package by issuing this command install.packages("HistData") and then attempt to reload the data with library("HistData") followed by data("Quarrels"). Perhaps strangley, if R gives you no output after entering a command, it means the command succeeded. If it succeeded you can see the data by typing Quarrels at the command-line which should display the entire dataset.

If you need to download R, you can go to the R project website. You can download a CSV (comma separated values) version of the Quarrels R data set. The size of this file is about 242,150 bytes.


Statistics of Deadly Quarrels

Description

The Statistics Of Deadly Quarrels by Lewis Fry Richardson (1960) is one of the earlier attempts at quantification of historical conflict behavior.

The data set contains 779 dyadic deadly quarrels that cover a time period from 1809 to 1949. A quarrel consists of one pair of belligerents, and is identified by its beginning date and magnitude (log 10 of the number of deaths). Neither actor in a quarrel is identified by name.

Because Richardson took a dyad of belligerents as his unit, a given war, such as World War I or World War II comprises multiple observations, for all pairs of belligerents. For example, there are forty-four pairs of belligerents coded for World War I.

For each quarrel, the nominal variables include the type of quarrel, as well as political, cultural, and economic similarities and dissimilarities between the pair of combatants.

Details

In the original data set obtained from ICPSR, variables were named V1-V84. These were renamed to make them more meaningful. V84, renamed ID was moved to the first position, but otherwise the order of variables is the same.

In many of the factor variables, 0 is used to indicate "irrelevant to quarrel". This refers to those relations that Richardson found absent or irrelevant to the particular quarrel, and did not subsequently mention.

See the original codebook at http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/cgi-bin/file?comp=none&study=5407&ds=1&file_id=652814 for details not contained here.

How To Import a Dataset
  1. Create a Picostat account or login with your existing picostat account (see above).
  2. Go to the dataset import page.
  3. Select a license for the dataset. The default is "No License" but allows Picostat to host a copy of the dataset as per the privacy policy. You may wish to uncheck the "Public" option if you do not wish to share your dataset with others. R Datasets that come by downloading R have a GNU General Public License v3.0 which may also be selected from the Picostat dropdown.
  4. Enter a title for the dataset
  5. Choose a dataset input methods. Available options include:
    • Random data - this populates your dataset with random numbers between 0 and 100. You can specify the number of rows and columns for the random dataset.
    • CSV, TSV or TXT file - you will have the option upload a file within the current file size limit and also specify the header and whether or not the dataset is a contingency table. With contingency tables, the first column becomes a label for the rows. Currently with Picostat, there is limited support for contingency tables. Choose "Yes" to the Header option if the first line of the data contains titles for the rows. Also choose the Separator for the dataset. A separator is what breaks the data up. In some cases, a comma would separate data values in a row. You will also have the option to add documentation in the form keyboarded text and also uploaded documentation attachments. You can also specify a license for the documentation.
    • Copy and Paste. This selection contains many of the same fields as importing a file with an additional textarea to copy and paste data to.
    • Empty dataset. Start with a blank dataset and manually add data with the Picostat dataset editor.
    • Excel file - Choose this option if you would like to convert your Excel spreadsheet to a Picostat dataset. With this selection, you will have the option to specify whether to use the first row in the Excel file as column names. If you would like to choose a specific sheet to use, you can also specify with entering its name in the text input.
    • sas7bdat file - SAS is a powerful statistical software package that has its own proprietary file format. Choose this option if you are importing a SAS file.
    • SPSS sav file - SPSS is a statistical package owned by IBM. You can import SPSS files by choosing this option.
  6. Choose whether or not the dataset contains a header. Some of the dataset input methods allow you to specify whether or not a Header exists on the file. Sometimes dataset files contain a Header as the first row which names the columns. If you choose "Yes" to this, the first row in the dataset will become column headers.
  7. You can also add documentation and specify a documentation license. This can be used to help explain your dataset to those unfamiliar with it.
  8. Choose whether or not to upload an supporting attachments.
  9. Pass the captcha. To prevent spam submissions, Picostat has a captcha which is used to prevent automated submissions by bots.
  10. Choose a privacy setting for the dataset. You can also specify whether or not the dataset is Public. If you uncheck this setting, only you and the Picostat administrator will be able to view the dataset.
  11. Submit the form. Once the form is validated, you will be redirected to the dataset homepage where you can choose to edit or perform statistical operations on the dataset.
