title: Replication data for: Multiple Imputation for Continuous and Categorical Data: Comparing Joint Multivariate Normal and Conditional Approaches

description: We consider the relative performance of two common approaches to multiple imputation (MI): joint multivariate normal (MVN) MI, in which the data are modeled as a sample from a joint MVN distribution; and conditional MI, in which each variable is modeled conditionally on all the others. In order to use the multivariate normal distribution, implementations of joint MVN MI typically assume that categories of discrete variables are probabilistically constructed from continuous values. We use simulations to examine the implications of these assumptions. For each approach, we assess (1) the accuracy of the imputed values, and (2) the accuracy of coefficients and fitted values from a model fit to completed datasets. These simulations consider continuous, binary, ordinal, and unordered-categorical variables. One set of simulations uses multivariate normal data and one set uses data from the 2008 American National Election Study. We implement a less restricti
ve approach than is typical when evaluating methods using simulations in the missing data literature: in each case, missing values are generated by carefully following the conditions necessary for missingness to be ``missing at random'' (MAR). We find that in these situations conditional MI is more accurate than joint MVN MI whenever the data include categorical variables.

title: Vactosertib, a Novel, Orally Bioavailable Activin Receptor-Like Kinase 5 Inhibitor, Promotes Regression of Fibrotic Plaques in a Rat Model of Peyronie’s Disease

description: Purpose: To examine the therapeutic effect of Vactosertib, a small molecule inhibitor of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) type I receptor (activin receptor-like kinase-5, ALK5), in an experimental model of Peyronie’s disease (PD) and determining
anti-fibrotic mechanisms of Vactosertib in primary fibroblasts derived from human PD plaques.
Materials and Methods: Male rats were randomly divided into three groups (n=6 per group); control rats without treatment; PD rats receiving vehicle; and PD rats receiving Vactosertib (10 mg/kg). PD-like plaques were induced by administering 100
μL of each of human fibrin and thrombin solutions into the tunica albuginea on days 0 and 5. Vactosertib was given orally five times a week for 2 weeks. On day 30, we performed electrical stimulation of the cavernous nerve to measure erectile
function, and the penis was obtained for histological examination. Fibroblasts isolated from human PD plaques were used to determine the anti-fibrotic effects of Vactosertib in vitro.
Results: Vactosertib induced significant regression of fibrotic plaques in PD rats in vivo through reduced infiltration of inflammatory cells and reduced expression of phospho-Smad2, which recovered erectile function. Vactosertib also abrogated TGF-β1-induced enhancement of extracellular matrix protein production and hydroxyproline content in PD fibroblasts in vitro by hindering the TGF-β1-induced Smad2/3 phosphorylation and nuclear translocation, and fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transdifferentiation.
Conclusions: In view of the critical role of TGF-β and the Smad pathway in the pathogenesis of PD, inhibition of this pathway with an ALK5 inhibitor may represent a novel, targeted therapy for PD.

title: The Causal Linkages between Sovereign CDS Prices for the BRICS and Major European Economies [Dataset]

description: The article examines causal relationships between sovereign credit default swaps (CDS) prices for the BRICS and most important EU economies (Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Spain) during the European debt crisis. The cross-correlation function (CCF) approach used in the research distinguishes between causality-in-mean and causality-in-variance. In both causality dimensions, the BRICS CDS prices tend to Granger cause those of the EU counterparts with the exception of Germany. Italy and Spain exhibit the highest dependence on the BRICS, whereas only India has a negative balance of outgoing and incoming causal linkages among the BRICS. Thus, the paper underscores the signs of decoupling effects in the sovereign CDS market and also supports the view that the European debt crisis has so far had a limited non-EU impact in this market.

title: Replication data for: Reexaminng the Media's Role in Forming Voters' National Economic Evaluations in 1992 Using the Sample Error Correction Method

description: This note replicates and extends Marc J. Hetherington’s “The Media’s Role in Forming Voters’ National Economic Evaluations in 1992” (American Journal of Political Science 40(2):372–395). Using an early release of the National Election Study (NES) data for 1992, Hetherington concluded that, in the 1992 election (although not in other years), negative media coverage of economic conditions created pessimistic perceptions of the economy among voters. As a result, voters formed negative retrospective evaluations of the Bush presidency that ultimately led to the defeat of George Bush.
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; If this media effect is robust, then the effect should be present in a replication using the complete 1992 NES data set. Further, this finding should also withstand an extension using the sample error correction mechanism that applies a distinctive weight to adjust the standard errors for the peculiarities of the sampling procedure used by the NES. Although the National Election Study is overall a probability sample, the selection of the primary sampling unit includes 16 units selec
ted with a probability of one. The non-uniform probability selection mechanisms can present potentially serious problems for analyses relying on an assumption of a normal distribution of disturbances.
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Generally, I find that Hetherington’s effects are present, although diminished, when the final release of the 1992 NES data is used. However, when the sample error correction method is employed, the media effect disappears.

title: Replication Data for: Compliance and Truthfulness: Leveraging Peer Information with Competitive Audit Mechanisms

description: How to design audit mechanisms that harness the benefits of self-reporting for
achieving compliance with regulatory targets while limiting misreporting is a pressing
question in many regulatory contexts, from climate policies to public health. Contrasting
random audit and competitive audit mechanisms, this paper theoretically and
experimentally studies their performance in regulating socially undesirable emissions
when peer information about others’ emissions is present or absent. Our focus is on
the compliance of emission levels with regulatory targets, going beyond existing results
on truthfulness of reporting. Confirming theoretical predictions, the experiment shows
that in contrast to the random audit mechanism, the competitive audit mechanism can
leverage peer information for compliance: emission levels are closer to the social
optimum. Yet, emission levels fall somewhat short of full compliance. The results
highlight the considerable potential of competitive audit mechanisms for achieving not
only more truthfulness, but also more compliance.

title: Replication data for: Rethinking the Comparative Perspective on Class and Representation: Evidence from Latin America

description: Does it matter that working-class citizens are numerically underrepresented in political offices throughout the world? For decades, the conventional wisdom in comparative politics has been that it does not, that lawmakers from different classes think and behave roughly the same in office. In this paper, we argue that this conclusion is misguided. Past research relied on inappropriate measures of officeholders’ class backgrounds, attitudes, and choices. Using data on 18 Latin American legislatures, we show that lawmakers from different classes bring different economic attitudes to the legislative process. And using data on one least-likely case, we show that pre-voting decisions like sponsoring legislation often differ dramatically along social class lines, even when political parties control higher-visibility decisions like roll-call votes. The unequal numerical or descriptive representation of social classes in the world’s legislatures has important consequences for the substantive representation of different class interests.

title: Replication Data for: Multi-Dimensional Wireless Signal Identification Based on Support Vector Machines

description: &lt;p&gt;The dataset includes spectral correlation function (SCF) estimations by FFT accumulation method (FAM) for totally 4500 signals with 20000 I/Q samples (but only 16384 samples are used). The signals belong to three different cellular communication standards: GSM, WCDMA, and LTE. The signals have been received from different channels with multipath, fading, and noise. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Furthermore, the dataset provides other features such as Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Autocorrelation (ACF), and Power Spectral Density (PSD) in linear scale. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The dataset can be used to validate the designed classifier model aiming to identify cellular communication signals.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For each signal, the dimension of SCF estimate (alpha domain profile maximizing over spectral frequency) is 1*32769. There are four train sets which must be used together (SCF_train1.mat, SCF_train2.mat, SCF_train3.mat, and SCF_train4.mat). Four train sets for each feature have 3000 signals totally, and two test sets for each feature have 1500.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The label of the cellular communication standards are given in dataset as follows:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;WCDMA -&gt; 0 &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;LTE -&gt; 1 &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;GSM -&gt; 2 &lt;/p&gt;

title: Replication data for: Xenophobic Rhetoric and Its Political Effects on Immigrants and Their Co-Ethnics

description: Though political scientists generally understand the origins of native-born reactions to foreigners, less is known about how anti-immigrant contexts trigger a political response within immigrant groups. I address this question by studying the connection between xenophobic rhetoric and Latino politics. I claim that xenophobic rhetoric raises the salience of ethnic identity and impugns its worth. This identity threat leads high identifying group members to engage in political efforts that assert their group's positive value, while low identifiers shun political opportunities to bolster their group' devaluation. I test these claims with an experiment embedded in a nationally representative opinion survey of Latino adults. In light of xenophobic rhetoric, I find that relative to low identifiers, high identifying Latinos become less politically trusting, more ethnocentric, and increasingly supportive of policies that emphasize ingroup pride. These results clarify xenophobic rhetoric's role in amplifying the influence of ethnic identity on immigrant politics.
