For instance, GDP data might be available for seven years while population data might be available for eight. Should we calculate the correlation between each predictor's available data points and the Cantril scores separately, or should we align by using the smallest number of data points across predictors to ensure consistency in the analysis?(Based on my understanding should be the first and after get that correlation then get average after)
Hi, The fundamental misconception here is that the value needs to be at least 3. That is not correct. What I'm trying to say is that, for a given country, there needs to be at least 3 years with Cantril data. For example, in Sample2.txt, ARE has data for 6 years, so is included, but OMN has data for just 1 year, so is ignored. Cheers MichaelW 👨‍🎨
