R package endorse: Bayesian Measurement Models for Analyzing Endorsement Experiments

by Yuki Shiraito and Kosuke Imai

This package fits the hierarchical and non-hierarchical Bayesian measurement models proposed by Bullock, Imai, and Shapiro (2011) 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.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
