Deliberation function

Description

The deliberate function returns a jury verdict based on a simulation of deliberation as a modified tug-of-war between two verdict factions. Can be called directly, but is meant to be called many times to generate verdict probabilities based on g_votes and jury_n values.

Usage

deliberate(g_votes, jury_n)

Arguments

g_votes	Initial number of votes for guilty verdict (same as K value).
jury_n	Size of the jury (i.e. 4, 6, 8, 12, or 16).

Value

Returns "G" (guilty verdict) or "NG" (not guilty verdict).

Examples

   library(sate)
   deliberate(g_votes=10, jury_n=12)

   deliberate(g_votes=4, jury_n=6)
