La pedagogía de las TI en la campaña del 12-M. Estudio de los programas electrorales
2002
La campaña de las Elecciones Generales del 12-M de 2000, resultó ser un magnífico exponente del papel que juegan las tecnologías de la información (TI) en la contienda electoral y un referente de lo que los ideólogos de los distintos partidos piensan sobre ellas. En el desarrollo de aquélla se combinaron los medios tradicionales de prensa, radio y TV junto a lo último de Internet (web, chat, news, foros o correo electrónico), haciendo toda una pedagogía política de las TI. Bien al amparo de instituciones públicas o por iniciativa de instancias privadas, distintos grupos de comunicación organizaron 'foros de debate' con los candidatos. El mismo recuento de votos hizo de la noche electoral un…
Encuestas a pie de urna en España. ¿Error muestral o sesgo de no respuesta?
2016
Countless examples of misleading forecasts on behalf of both pre-election and exit polls can be found all over the world. Non-representative samples due to differential nonresponse have been claimed as being the main reason for inaccurate exit-poll projections. In real inference problems, it is seldom possible to compare estimates and true values. Electoral forecasts are an exception. Comparisons between estimates and final outcomes can be carried out once votes have been tallied. In this paper, we examine the raw data collected in seven exit polls conducted in Spain and test the likelihood that the data collected in each sampled voting location can be considered as a random sample of actua…
Structure and evolution of a European Parliament via a network and correlation analysis
2016
We present a study of the network of relationships among elected members of the Finnish parliament, based on a quantitative analysis of initiative co-signatures, and its evolution over 16 years. To understand the structure of the parliament, we constructed a statistically validated network of members, based on the similarity between the patterns of initiatives they signed. We looked for communities within the network and characterized them in terms of members' attributes, such as electoral district and party. To gain insight on the nested structure of communities, we constructed a hierarchical tree of members from the correlation matrix. Afterwards, we studied parliament dynamics yearly, wi…
IndElec: A Software for Analyzing Party Systems and Electoral Systems
2011
IndElec is a software addressed to compute a wide range of indices from electoral data, which are intended to analyze both party systems and electoral systems in political studies. Further, IndElec can calculate such indices from electoral data at several levels of aggregation, even when the acronyms of some political parties change across districts. As the amount of information provided by IndElec may be considerable, this software also aids the user in the analysis of electoral data through three capabilities. First, IndElec automatically elaborates preliminary descriptive statistical reports of computed indices. Second, IndElec saves the computed information into text files in data matri…
