# Raw data sources and local-only setup
|
|
|
|
This repository includes model-ready inputs under `data/`, but it does not
|
|
redistribute licensed, restricted, or third-party raw source files. Raw files
|
|
needed to regenerate processed inputs should be kept in `_local/raw/` or another
|
|
directory selected with `PARTY2D_RAW_DATA_DIR`.
|
|
|
|
The source setup scripts document how to obtain and test those files locally.
|
|
Users must use their own Manifesto Project API key and obtain the Morgan OCR/
|
|
transcription file separately.
|
|
|
|
The data setup workflow writes intermediates to `_local/build/`, regenerated
|
|
inputs to `_local/generated-inputs/`, and comparison reports to `_local/reports/`.
|
|
It does not overwrite committed `data/` files.
|
|
|
|
Recommended local layout:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
_local/raw/
|
|
poldem/poldem-election_all.csv
|
|
manifesto/MPDataset_MPDS2025a.csv
|
|
partyfacts/partyfacts-external-parties.csv
|
|
ches/...
|
|
vparty/...
|
|
poppa/...
|
|
gps/...
|
|
morgan/...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The scripts read `PARTY2D_RAW_DATA_DIR` when it is set. For another location, use:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export PARTY2D_RAW_DATA_DIR=/path/to/local/raw
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|

```
|
|
|
|
## Local source check and rebuild
|
|
|
|
To check local raw file placement and print byte sizes/checksums directly, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bash data-setup/check_raw_data.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run the full source-data setup, rebuild, and comparison test with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bash data-setup/run_data_setup.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The generated files remain under `_local/generated-inputs/`. They are compared to
|
|
the committed model-ready inputs, but never copied over them automatically.
|
|
|
|
## Processed files kept in this repository
|
|
|
|
The committed files under `data/` are limited to the model-ready inputs used by
|
|
the Julia/Stan estimation path:
|
|
|
|
- `data/text_data.csv`
|
|
- `data/expert.csv`
|
|
- `data/lr_data.csv`
|
|
- `data/union_mapping.csv`
|
|
- `data/party_families.csv`
|
|
|
|
These files document the analysis-ready inputs while avoiding redistribution of
|
|
the underlying raw source data.
|
|
|
|
See `data-setup/source_manifest.csv` for a machine-readable source checklist.
|
|
|
|
## Scripted download status
|
|
|
|
`data-setup/R/01_download_sources.R` downloads sources that are script-accessible
|
|
under provider terms: PolDem, PartyFacts, CHES family files where provider links
|
|
are live, POPPA from Harvard Dataverse, GPS from Harvard Dataverse, Manifesto
|
|
with user credentials, and V-Party through the provider form when
|
|
`PARTY2D_VDEM_EMAIL` is set.
|
|
|
|
The Manifesto Project main dataset requires Manifesto Project access/API
|
|
credentials from the provider. Set `MANIFESTO_API_KEY` or
|
|
`PARTY2D_MANIFESTO_API_KEY` for scripted download.
|
|
|
|
The Morgan historical file is a local OCR/transcription source from Morgan
|
|
(1976), not a public provider download. It can be provided on request and must be
|
|
placed locally at `$PARTY2D_RAW_DATA_DIR/morgan/morgan_positions_raw.csv` for
|
|
full rebuild tests.
