Predicting High-Risk Countries for Political Instability and Conflict
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present this paper in order to suggest a new tool for political science in respect to identifying unstable countries and their root indicators that could suggest areas for political intervention. With more than 98% accuracy, we were able to predict severely unstable political states based on countries with a Fragile States Index (FSI) score of > 100. In addition, we were able to determine the features that best indicate a country’s instability through the use of filter feature selection.
