% Write your outline here
% Note that the sections are the same for us all

\section{Introduction}
% Remember that the introduction is the last part written. 
% It consists of two paragraphs. The first paragraph is the 
% hook that ends with the thesis statement. The second 
% paragraph is a summary of the paper. 

% This is the same for everyone. Just leave it
% blank in the full-sentence outline.



\section{Literature Review}
\begin{itemize}
 \item There are several known causes of terrorist activity. These include ethnic concentration (Williamson 1966), relative deprivation (Gurr 1972), concrete grievance (Crenshaw 1986), previous use (Forsberg 2006).
 \item Gurr (1992) suggests that political orientation of the government is an important covariate.
 \item Forsberg (2006) found conflicting evidence in terms of orientation affect. There was evidence that extremeness of the government was more indicative of terrorism use.
\end{itemize}



\section{Data}
\begin{itemize}
 \item The data were gathered from several sources (START, PWT, Polity).
 \item Sample statistics for the variables to be included here, including a correlation plot.
\end{itemize}



\section{Methods}
\begin{itemize}
 \item Because the dependent variable is a count with no upper bound, I will use count regression using a Poisson distribution (with a log link). 
 \item  I will test for over-dispersion using the appropriate chi-squared test.
 \item If the model is over-dispersed, I will fit using quasi-likelihood.
 \item I will use the runs test to determine if the model is appropriate.
\end{itemize}



\section{Results and Discussion}
\begin{itemize}
 \item The analysis is not yet done, so I am not sure about the results.
 \item Graphics of the number of terrorist attacks against the political orientation of head of government will be made for three countries in two years: Italy, Spain, and the United States, in 2000 and 2023. This will allow me to determine if the model did well (2000) and what we can look for in the future. 
 \item This will allow for a discussion on the quality of the model and on the research question itself.
\end{itemize}



\section{Conclusion}
% Remember that the conclusion introduces NOTHING new 
% to the paper. Its sole purpose is to summarize what 
% you discovered. It should be a few paragraphs long. 
% The first for the literature review. The second for 
% the data, analysis, and results. Finally, the very 
% last paragraph examines the entire research process 
% and evaluates it in terms of weaknesses, strengths, 
% and future endeavors.

% This is also the same for everyone. Just leave it
% blank in the full-sentence outline.


\section{Appendix}
% Include all of your R in this appendix. Make sure 
% you have things properly commented.

% This is also the same for everyone. Just leave it
% blank in the full-sentence outline.


\section{Reference List}
% The last part of your paper is your reference list. 
% Use BibTeX and LaTeX to typeset this correctly.

% This is also the same for everyone. Just leave it
% blank in the full-sentence outline.
