This is a non-directed dyad-year data set for militarized interstate disputes involving
the United States. I created these to illustrate the sbtscs() function.
Format
A data frame with 14586 observations on the following 6 variables.
dyada unique identifier for the dyad
ccode1the Correlates of War state code for the United States (2)
ccode2the Correlates of War state code for the other state in the dyad
yearan observation year for the dyad
midongoingwas there an ongoing inter-state dispute in the dyad-year?
midonsetwas there a new inter-state dispute onset in the dyad-year
Details
Data were generated some time ago. Rare cases where there were multiple disputes ongoing in a given dyad-year were first whittled by isolating 1) unique dispute onsets. Thereafter, the data select the 2) highest fatality, then 3) the highest hostility level, and then 4) the longer dispute, until 5) just picking whichever one came first. There are no duplicate non-directed dyad-year observations.
