Bayesian Statistics for Inference over Electoral Behavior
The results provided by the electoral entities do not allow to know the support to the parties by social classes, age groups or races. In this work, the electoral population was divided by age classes and inferences were made about the proportions of support by age for the Alianza País and CREO part...

| Sumario: | The results provided by the electoral entities do not allow to know the support to the parties by social classes, age groups or races. In this work, the electoral population was divided by age classes and inferences were made about the proportions of support by age for the Alianza País and CREO parties, the most important of the presidential contest for Ecuador in 2013. The results of the political contest were taken in contingency tables of RxC size at the district level and through the ecological inference the proportions of support for the candidates by these classes were estimated. Inferences were made through Bayesian techniques by a Dirichlet-Multinomial hierarchical model and Markov Chain Monte Carlo computational methods executed by the RStan package were used. |
