Standard Cross-Cultural Codes 2SLS Annotations: 2SLS regression (two-stage OLS or ordinary least squares) with imputation of missing data is regarded as the most accurate estimation technique for causal and autocorrelation effects once notional concepts of causation are properly specified. The purpose of this edition of the SCCCodes is intended as a cumulative repository for 2SLS regression results using the R software of Eff and Dow (2009) How to Deal with Missing Data and Galton's Problem in Cross-Cultural Survey Research: A Primer for R. Structure and Dynamics: eJournal of Anthropological and Related Sciences 3#3 art 1.

"The EDP is a web-based tool for the collection of comparative ethnographic data. It allows anthropologists to enter data about their field research using a set of standard codes developed for cross-cultural application.

At present, the codes included in the EDP relate to a society’s organisation, kinship and marriage practices, subsistence economy, and pattern of sexual division of labour."
