Select geographic and date matching
window for event de-duplication:
- geographic: 1 km / 5 km
- date: 1 day / 2 days
- all events of the same type (i.e. same actors, actions,
targets) that fall within the same matching window (e.g. occurred
within 1 km of each other on the same day) are treated as a single
unique event
Select dyad type:
- A: directed (includes only events where initiator and target
are both known)
- B: undirected (all events, including those with some
ambiguity over which actor was initiator vs. target)
- ACLED and GED contain only undirected dyad information; most
other sources include directed dyad information
