Sponsorship Analysis

"Leader-Follower Score"
Keller is a follower according to our statistical analysis of bills in this legislative session. Keller tends to cosponsors the bills of other Members of Congress who do not cosponsor Keller’s own bills. For more, see congressional statistics.

To compute the leader-follower score for Keller, we make a table that lists all other Members of Congress. Each row has the number bills sponsored by Keller and cosponsored by the other Member of Congress divided by the number of bills sponsored by the other Member of Congress and cosponsored by Keller.

This is a measure of who is following who. The higher the number, the more times others are cosponsoring Keller's bills without Keller returning the favor. We then take the mean of (the logorithms of) these ratios. Thanks to Joe Barillari for the idea.
