The appendix is meant to serve as a place to include information that is not suitable for the blog, like large amounts of code output, technical details, and any other information. Each section will link to the corresponding blog post. Not every blog post will have information in the appendix.
During the blog post for polls, I built two linear models: a so called fundamentals model that is based on the economy, and the polls plus model that adds in the impact of vote shares. While the most important information was discussed in the blog post, there is some value in seeing the full regression output which is provided below. These are two sided models, meaning that there is a seperate model for candidates from the incumbent party, and from the challenging party.First, the updated fundamentals model for the incumbent:

In this post, I further explored probabilistic models, focusing on a logistic regression with binomial output. I built a two sided model, looking at both incumbent and challenger outcomes, predicting the number of votes for a candidate given the size of the voter eligible population at the state level.
The logistic regression is of the following form:
\[ (Votes | VEP)= f(\beta_0 + \beta_1 RDI + \beta_2 GDP + \beta_3 Poll + \beta_4 Period +\beta_5 State)\] Where \(f(x)=\frac{exp(x)}{1+exp(x)}\). In addition, VEP is the eligible voting popluation, RDI is the second quarter RDI in a particular state, GDP is the national second quarter GDP, poll is the average vote share up to 4 weeks before the election, period is an indicator for 1980-1992 or 1996 onward, and state is a set of dummy variables for states. We can exmaine the output for both the incumbent party:
##
## Call:
## glm(formula = cbind(inc_pv, VEP - inc_pv) ~ rdi_q2 + gdp + state +
## avg_poll + period, family = binomial, data = reg_df %>% filter(year <
## 2020, incumbent_party == TRUE))

The deviances (one way of measuring the fit of a logistic regression) are extremely high, suggesting a poor fit. In addition to the problems with a lack of variance, it would seem that this model may not be particularly helpful.
In the post on parties and uncertainty, I used a number of logistic models based on two different types of two sided model: one based on incumbency status, and one based on parties. The results of those regressions are as follows.
First look at the model for the incumbent party.
