Build Models

Configure synthetic predictor variables, build models, and create custom simulations.

How to Use This Tool

Follow these steps to build and analyze your models

1. Select Predictors

Check relevant variables. Hover info icons for definitions. The six predictor variables in the published Approval model are pre-selected as a default.

2. Select Outcome

Choose what to model: Presidential Approval, Vote Intention, or Tax Cut Support. Presidential Approval is selected as a default

3. Run Analysis

Click "Run Analysis" to estimate the model and view results.

4. Review Results

Examine probabilities, margins, and diagnostics.

5. Build Simulator

Set hypothetical values to see their effects.

6. Iterate

Adjust variables and compare scenarios.
