| Sintesi≠ | Multidimensional unfolding places both individuals and the stimuli they evaluate — candidates, parties, bills — in a single joint low-dimensional space, so that each person's preferences are explained by their proximity to the stimuli. In political science it underlies Keith Poole's nonparametric optimal classification of roll-call votes and the unfolding of thermometer ratings and rank orders, recovering legislators' and bills' positions from nothing but the pattern of choices. Unlike correlation-based scaling, unfolding treats preference as a single-peaked function of distance: you like what is close to you and dislike what is far. | NOMINATE — Nominal Three-step Estimation — is the family of spatial scaling procedures developed by Keith Poole and Howard Rosenthal to recover legislators' ideological positions from roll-call votes. Each legislator and the yea and nay outcomes of each vote are placed in a low-dimensional space, and a normal (Gaussian) deterministic utility plus a random shock governs choices. Fitted by maximum likelihood, NOMINATE produces the canonical ideal-point coordinates used to chart polarization across two centuries of the U.S. Congress, with the dynamic DW-NOMINATE variant allowing positions to drift smoothly over time. |
