得票数からの政党と選挙区の政策座標計算 : 有権者意見分布正規性仮定の妥当性(応用,数理政治学,<特集>平成18年研究部会連合発表会)

Following the approach by Kishimoto et al. [4], this paper calculates the Downsian political locations of major four parties in the Japanese national elections from the numbers of votes gained by the parties, assuming that the voters' distributions at districts are t distributions (d.f=3,4,...,50). Since the results are similar to those in the case of normal density, we can use the normal density as the voters' distribution at the districts.
