MCMC samples from an analysis reported in a paper titled "A Song of Neither Ice nor Fire: Temperature extremes had no impact on violent conflict among European societies during the 2nd millennium"

These data are posterior samples from an MCMC used to estimate parameters for a Bayesian state-space time-series regression model. They are products of an analysis reported in "A Song of Neither Ice nor Fire: Temperature extremes had no impact on violent conflict among European societies during the 2nd millennium", an academic paper that has recently been submitted for peer review. We have archived the MCMC samples here in order to facilitate peer review, replication, and open science.

The samples are stored in .RData format (matrices when loaded into an R environment) and the R code used to produce them is provided in a GitHub repo (https://github.com/wccarleton/extreme-conflict). Each .RData file contains a matrix called "samples". The columns of the matrix are each an MCMC chain for a given (column name) model parameter monitored during the MCMC simulation. See the aforementioned GitHub repo for more details.
