In collaboration with Karsten Donnay, I’ve put together a method for analyzing reactive patterns in spatial event data. The corresponding paper and the R package are now available online. We demonstrated the efficiency of the method in Monte Carlo simulations and its merit in an analysis of civilian reactions to insurgent violence in Iraq. I hope the software will help uncover conflict dynamics in irregular wars and maybe even suitable interventions to stop local cycles of violence.

Done.
I actually finished my PhD thesis last fall… That was a big pile of work to say the least. I’ll try to update this site more frequently now that this thing is taken care of…
