Additional information

Whitaker’s substantial contribution involves the choice and application of statistical techniques for analysing support for UKIP at the 2009 European elections at aggregate and individual levels. He used data from election results, the 2001 census and a large-scale survey conducted by YouGov. The techniques applied include factor analysis of demographic variables, seemingly unrelated regressions for the aggregate data, and binary and multinomial logistic regressions comparing support for UKIP with that for other parties. He led the analysis of the significance of socio-demographic variables and the utility of the second-order elections model in explaining support for UKIP.
