[Dec. 6th, 2007|08:04 pm] |
Guess which party is Putin's (hint - correlation coefficient is 90%). X axis: percent voter turnout at a given territory, Y axis: percent voted for a given party. Each dot is an election territory.
via russian blogs: original data, explanation?.
Update: my interpretation
Update 2: Uploaded to Swivel:
Update 3: For comparison - the same graph for 2006 elections in Canada:
Update 4: Much more detailed version:
Update 5: A simple model of elections that explains the data.
Update 6: Final election results are available, now if you plot party share out of all registered voters vs turnout you get 97% correlation: 
Update 7: Excellent slashdot discussion
Update 8: More evidence via
x axis - turnout percent, y axis - number of elections commissions reporting this turnout, notice the peaks are exactly on the round numbers. |
