endorse - Bayesian Measurement Models for Analyzing Endorsement
Experiments
Fit the hierarchical and non-hierarchical Bayesian
measurement models proposed by Bullock, Imai, and Shapiro
(2011) <DOI:10.1093/pan/mpr031> to analyze endorsement
experiments. Endorsement experiments are a survey methodology
for eliciting truthful responses to sensitive questions. This
methodology is helpful when measuring support for socially
sensitive political actors such as militant groups. The model
is fitted with a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm and
produces the output containing draws from the posterior
distribution.
