pv99tompall {pinktoe} | R Documentation |
In 1999 a selection of MPs signed Early Day Motions and hence turn up
in databases that record which MPs signed in a given year. The lists
that record MPs signing records implicitly define an "index position"
for those MPs in those records. To link these MPs to the global
mpall3
database this vector gives the index into
mpall3
from their implicity index position.
data(pv99tompall)
A permutation vector containing 549 integers each one identifying an MP
and their position within the mpall3
database.
