Isonymy matrix data

Description

An isonymy matrix raw dataset, with three populations and ten surnames.

Usage

data(surnames)

Format

A 10 rows by 3 columns dataset

Details

NB: we found that the best spreadsheet handling surnames containing spaces (e.g. "de Iorio") is GNUMERIC, because it has a text export feature that allows to put brakets ("") to the left and right of every cell content, so that composite surnames are read as a string. The resulting text file is easily imported by read.table()

Examples

data(surnames)
# NB. How did we produce the "surnames" dataset?
# the original data [note, the following is a crop] was arranged as:

#Population     Surname
#       Uno     alfa
#       Uno     beta
#       Uno     alfa
#       Uno     gamma
#       Uno     delta
#       Uno     alfa
#       Uno     delta
#       Uno     alfa
#       Uno     alfa
#       Due     chi
#       Due     chi
#       Due     chi
#       Due     chi
#       Due     chi
#       Due     teta
#       Due     beta
#       Due     chi
#       Due     gamma
#       Due     teta
#       Due     teta
#       Tre     lambda
#       Tre     alfa
#       Tre     chi
#       Tre     chi
#       Tre     alfa
#       Tre     alfa
#       Tre     alfa
#       ..........

# This arrangement does not necessarily reflect the way other people would arrange their data;
# so it had to be transformed by t(table(data)) to get the "surnames" dataset in its present and "correct" form
