The interest1981 dataset is a subset of a much larger dataset compiled by Keith Poole, containing nearly 200,000
interest group ratings of members of Congress between 1959 and 1981. These data have been extensively analyzed
by Poole (1981, 1984, 1990) and Poole and Daniels (1985). The dataset has been used to perform the MLSMU6
unfolding procedure in two dimensions, following the methodologies established in the mentioned studies.
