     This data set is one of two that together allow the replication of
     the analysis in section 2.4 of King and Zeng 2006b.    It contains
     data on 122 _counterfactuals_ derived by King and Zeng 2006b from
     the factual Doyle and Sambanis 2000 data set, 'f'.  It should be
     used in conjunction with the latter.

_F_o_r_m_a_t:

     A data frame with dimensions 122-by-11.  Columns are covariates
     and  rows data points (or units).  The covariates are as in 'f'
     with the exception of the key causal variable, 'untype4', which is
     transformed to  1 - 'untype4'.
