L_Tukey: Disproportionality index. Tuckey's line (LT)

In Relectoral: Electoral Analysis

Description

This indicator is also known as the robust bias index. Its value is obtained by using the slope of the well-known "Tuckey Line" and its use is recommended when there is a "small" group of parties that behave significantly differently from the rest. This procedure is qualified as "robust" because the presence of behaviors of certain parties different from the rest does not substantially alter the line obtained, unlike what happened when it was used in the least squares criteria to make the regression adjustment.#'
