Monitoring the 1982 Spanish Socialist Victory: A Bayesian Analysis
追踪1982年西班牙社会党胜选:贝叶斯分析
An estimate of how people intended to vote was obtained four weeks before the Spanish general elections of October 1982. The evolution of opinion was followed during the campaign. Using a small sample of polling stations, the victory of the Spanish Socialist Party was predicted with great accuracy only two hours after the polls closed. A Bayesian hierarchical model was used.
