Regionalized Cultural Access and Participation (Books And Libraries) And Science Attitudes Variables
My new R package, Eurobarometer, helps the creation of data panels and regionalized statistics from the Pan-European survey’s microdata. This allows the creation of many new statistical indicators for the CEEMID Music Observatory and for many market and policy research tasks.
First CEEMID Regional Open Data Release
In the preparation to make the CEEMID available as an open-source data integration platform and as a source of open data for the European Music Observatory, the first regional dataset was published today.
Programatic Approach To Work With European Regional Data Panels
