Current Versus Past DW-NOMINATE Scores

Updated 26 May 2015


The STATA, Eviews and Excel files below combine current legislator scores (HL01113D21_PRES.DAT for the House; SL01113D21_PRES.DAT for the Senate) with the past eight releases of the DW-NOMINATE legislator scores (HL01105D.SRT, HL01106C.DAT, HL01107A1.DAT, HL01108A1_PRES.DAT, HL01109A21_PRES.DAT, HL01110D21_PRES_NEW.DAT, HL01111E21_PRES.DAT, and HL01112D21_PRES.DAT for the House; SL01105C.DAT, SL01106D.DAT, SL01107A1.DAT, SL01108A1.DAT, SL01109B21.DAT, SL01110C21_NEW.DAT, SL01111E21.DAT, and SL01112D21.DAT for the Senate). The DW-NOMINATE scalings for Congresses 1 - 105 were done in late 1998 using an early version of DW-NOMINATE. Because of computer limitations, this early version (1996-98) had a clumsy design that necessitated running the legislator, roll call, and utility function parameters in separate computer programs. Each program read the results from the previous one -- DW-NOMINATE was in fact a battery of programs. Also, given that only 100 - 200mhz machines were available at the time this early version was developed meant that there had to be some tradeoffs between precision and computer time.

In 2000 we developed a much improved version of DW-NOMINATE that does not have the limitations of the original battery of programs. DW-NOMINATE is now a stand-alone program like our original D-NOMINATE Program and it runs very efficiently on current high-speed PCs. The past seven releases are from this version.

Below are the results of regressing the current dimensions on the corresponding dimensions of the previous releases. The r-squares for the current 1 to 113 House with the 1 to 112 House release are .998 for the first dimension and .991 for the second. The corresponding r-squares for the Senate are .994 and .990, respectively. The regression tables give the mapping of the 1 - 112 into the current release for the House and Senate.

The r-squares for the current House with the 1 to 105 House scaling released in late 1998 are .929 for the first dimension and .865 for the second. The corresponding r-squares for the Senate are .855 and .822, respectively. These r-squares are lower for the reasons given above. The regression tables give the mapping of the 1 - 105 into the current release.

As noted on the DW-NOMINATE Scores Page, when a new Congress is added to the dataset this will slightly change the scores for more recent members because their scores are estimated using their entire voting history. This will also slightly change the overall means of the dimensions. In addition, the past few Congresses are nearly unidimensional with correct classifications of 90 percent or better. Consequently, the overall fit of the DW-NOMINATE estimation has increased as recent Congresses have been added to the dataset. Finally, the r-squares of the 1 to 111 coordinates with previous releases decline slightly with the decline being greater the earlier the release.
