Fariss Latent Human Rights Protection Scores (v4.02)Fariss 潜变量人权保护指数（v4.02）

The Latent Human Rights Scores measure a country's respect for physical-integrity human rights using a dynamic item-response model over multiple indicators (torture, political imprisonment, extrajudicial killing, disappearance, censorship) from 1946 to 2021. Because the model accounts for the changing standard of accountability, scores are comparable over time: an increase indicates that a country's respect for human rights has improved relative to the evolving global standard.

theta_mean is the posterior mean of the latent score; theta_sd is its posterior standard deviation. Higher scores mean better human-rights protection.

潜变量人权保护指数使用动态项目反应模型，综合酷刑、政治监禁、法外处决、失踪与审查等多类指标，衡量 1946–2021 年各国对人身完整性人权的尊重程度。模型考虑了问责标准的时代变化，因此分数具有跨时间可比性：分数上升代表该国对人权的尊重相对不断演进的全球标准有所改善。

theta_mean 为潜变量后验均值，theta_sd 为其后验标准差，分数越高代表人权保护越好。
