We develop a robust estimator—the hyperbolic tangent (tanh) estimator—for over dispersed multinomial regression models of count data. The tanh estimator provides accurate estimates and reliable inferences even when the specified model is not good for as much as half of the data. Seriously ill-fitted counts—outliers—are identified as part of the est... |

Brady, 2007, "Replication data for: The Butterfly Did It: The Aberrant Vote for Buchanan in Palm Beach County, Florida", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/EZ1UDS, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:rcoTHUQ1IvIHvzxKzkC65A== [fileUNF]
We show that the butterfly ballot used in Palm Beach County, Florida, in the 2000 presidential election caused more than 2,000 Democratic voters to vote by mistake for Reform candidate Pat Buchanan, a number larger than George W. Bush’s certified margin of victory in Florida. We use multiple methods and several kinds of data to rule out alternative... |
