In elec: Collection of Functions for Statistical Election Audits

Calculate the measured error in each of the audited precicnts.

Description

Calculate the measured error in each of the audited precicnts.

Usage

compute.audit.errors(
  Z,
  audit = NULL,
  calc.e_p = calc.pairwise.e_p,
  w_p = weight.function("no.weight"),
  bound.col = "tot.votes",
  err.override = NULL
)

Arguments

Z	Elec.data object holding the originally reported results
audit	A data.frame with one column per candidate that holds the totals from the audit. Each row corresponds to a precinct. Object needs a PID column with precinct ids that match the ones in Z.
calc.e_p	Calculate e\_p or take as given.
w_p	The weight function to use to reweight the errors of precincts.
bound.col	This is the vector (in audit) containing the maximum number of votes possible in the various precincts.
err.override	If non-null, use this as the found error in votes rather than the actual errors found in the audit.

Value

Orig audit table from Z with two new columns, err and err.weighted, corresponding to the errors found in each audited precinct before and after the weight function has been applied to them.
