This is an attempt at making the translation from new to old, or old to new, UCDP actor, conflict, and dyad IDs, a single line in python.
Note, this is in development and currently has a lot of bugs. This project is not affiliated with UCDP
The dyad_ids currently have duplicates for certain dyads and thus gives inconsistent results for those dyads.
This package can be installed using devtools. with the following lines of
code:
# install.packages('devtools') # uncomment line to install devtools
devtools::install_github('newton-c/UCDP_ID_translation_R')
To use, type:
library(UCDP.codes)
ucdp_ids(id_var, source_id, target_id, code_type)
The main function is ucdp_ids(id_var, source_id, target_id, code_type).
id_var is the variable containing the ID to be translated. source_id
indicates whether the id_var contains an old or new id, while target_id
indicates whether you want to translate to a new or old id. Both take the
arguments 'new_id' or 'old_id'. Finally, code_type identifies which ID is
being translated. The current options are 'actor_id', 'conflict_id', or
'dyad_id'.
dat$acd_old_conflict_id <- ucdp_ids(dat$acd_conflict_id,
'new_id', 'old_id', 'conflict_id')
This takes the variable 'acd_conflict_id' from the dataframe df, which is
the new UCDP conflict ID (as indicated by 'new_id' and conflict_id),
and translates to the old UCDP conflict ID (due to the input old_id).
A similar package is being developed for python. You can see it in its current state here: UCDP_ID_translation_python
