- Computed the Judicial Common Space score of every appointment of a federal
judge who served since 1953 (the first year of Epstein et al.'s study),
from the Federal Judicial Center's
Biographical Directory, Voteview's DW-NOMINATE scores, the dates of
senators' service, and the Martin-Quinn scores - Saved the scores in a spreadsheet with both of the center's numbers for
each judge (nidandjid) - Checked the scores against the published JCS scores of circuit judges and
justices and Christina Boyd's scores of district judges - Added the
judicial-common-spacecommand - Found the home states of circuit judges whose careers show none from their
duty stations in Wikipedia's articles on the courts of appeals, and added
theduty_stationcolumn - Added
--use-published, which uses Epstein et al.'s or Boyd's score where
it differs from the computed one by more than 0.05 (--published-threshold),
and thecomputed_jcsandjcs_sourcecolumns - Explained every score that differs from the published ones by more than
0.05 in the README - Removed private names from the modules' documentation
