In this post we further analyse the families. We categorised them into two - declining and rising. We track down all the families started in 1970s till 2007. Then we assess their performance in the elections held after 2007. This includes 3 General elections and 2 Assembly elections. If they have one at least one election in these 5 elections we call them rising dynasties and rest of them as declining dynasties.


The follwoing table shows the difference the longevity of these two groups

Table 1: Average life span
Success Life span
Declining 22
Rising 35

This chart depicts how the life span of a family varies according to their caste.



Summary of the two categories -

Success land industires N_minister Minister duration (months) school college
Declining 316.33 1.57 0.49 12.51 0.35 0.26
Rising 400.00 2.08 0.73 27.54 0.43 0.43

Here we regress the successful category against a multitude of variables. Given that it is binary dependent variable we are using a probit model here.
