DOI

This contains a docker container and the prepared data to do the analysis in the paper title: "The Low Dimensionality of Development" published in "Social Indicators Research" 2020 by Kraemer et al.. If you use code or data from in this repository cite the paper. This repository contains a copy of the World Development Indicators database from May 2018 [1]. The analysis was run on a 48 core cluster node with 256GB of ram and takes some hours to complete. Afterthis generating all results, they can be loaded into slightly over 16GB of RAM. Unpack 'docker_data.tar.gz' into a '/path/to/data' on 'host' and run as: docker load -i dockerimage.tar docker run -v "/path/to/data":/home/rstudio/data -v "/path/to/figures":/home/rstudio/fig -p 8989:8787 -e PASSWORD=secret_password development-indicators then open 'host:8989' in your browser and an RStudio session should appear. You can login with the user "rstudio" and the password you specified before. NOTE: We did not set a random seed, so slight variations between runs will occur.
