Title: Presidential Candidates

Description: Least-squares BTL scale values of 12 candidates for the
presidency on a rating scale from 0 (=‘very cold or unfavorable
feeling for the candidate’) to 100 (=‘very warm or favorable feeling
toward the candidate’). The data were collected in 1968 from 1178
persons. The respondents were classified into 21 groups according to
their race, party preference, geographical region, and education.

The columns correspond to these politicians:

1. Wallace (Wal)
2. McCarthy (McC)
3. Johnson (Joh)
4. Muskie (Mus)
5. Humphrey (Hum)
6. Reagan (Rea)
7. Romney (Rom)
8. Agnew (Agn)
9. Nixon (Nix)
10. Rockefeller (Roc)
11. R. Kennedy (Ken)
12. LeMay (LeM)

The rows have followings interpretations, where Ni is the number of respondents
in each group.
