In vottrans: Voter Transition Analysis

Description

Usage

vottrans(Ro, Rn, v = 1, nw = FALSE)

Arguments

Rn	Matrix containing the results of the second election in total. The first column has to contain the number of eligible voters.
v	Specifies how the entries are weighted. Version 1 calculates with the percentage values, but weights the residuals with the number of eligible voters per municipalities. Version 2 uses the percentage values without any weight. Version 3 calculates with absolute figures without any weight. (Default: v=1)
nw	Specifies whether the difference in the numbers of eligible voters between the two elections is added to the nonvoters of the second election or not. (Default= FALSE)
