verdata: An R package for analyzing data from the Truth Commission in Colombia

The Journal of Open Source Software

The data compiled by the joint JEP-CEV-HRDAG project are publicly available from the Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística (DANE). The data published by DANE is available in a format that may not be familiar to researchers who have not previously worked with statistical imputation methods. Recognizing this, verdata was created to support researchers in responsibly and correctly using the data despite the potential unfamiliarity of its structure. Researchers can use verdata to verify that the data files they are using in their analyses have not been altered, to replicate the main findings of the technical appendix, and to design new analyses of the conflict in Colombia.
