خلاصه	Dyadic conflict analysis is the dominant research design in quantitative conflict studies: it treats the pair of states (the dyad), observed year by year, as the unit of analysis and models the probability that a pair experiences militarized conflict as a function of their joint and individual attributes. Stuart Bremer's 'Dangerous Dyads' (1992) is the canonical statement, identifying which conditions — contiguity, the absence of alliance, power parity, the absence of joint democracy, and others — make a pair of states war-prone. The design aligns conflict data with the relational theories that dominate the field.	Correlates of War (COW) analysis is the systematic, data-driven study of interstate and intrastate war pioneered by J. David Singer and Melvin Small. The COW project assembled standardized, transparently coded datasets on the membership of the state system, the wars it has fought, and the material capabilities, alliances, and disputes of its members since 1816. Singer, Bremer, and Stuckey's (1972) study of capability distribution and major-power war exemplifies the approach: combine these building blocks into state-year and dyad-year datasets and analyze, statistically, what conditions correlate with the onset of war.
