Description

There are 500 seats to be assigned in the Chamber of Deputies in Mexico. The process involves different steps. assign_all_seats: Assigns the total of 500 seats of majority and proportional seats, checking for maximum constraints per assign_majority: Add column defining the majority party of the first 300 seats to each stratum and repetition. add_max_seats: Adds the maximum seats allowed out of the 500 seats to each party and repetition. assign_prop: Assigns n_assign seats to parties using proportional representation in national voting and "resto mayor".

Usage

assign_majority(
  estimates_strata_tbl,
  assignment_tbl,
  party_name,
  candidate_name
)

assign_all_seats(reps_list, assignment_tbl)

add_max_seats(total_tbl, majority_seats_tbl)

assign_prop(total_tbl)

Arguments

estimates_strata_tbl	Tibble with estimates of proportion of votes per party per repetition per stratum (output of bootstrap_diputados)
assignment_tbl	Tibble with party names and corresponding assigned party by stratum.
party_name	Unquoted variable indicating the party name.
candidate_name	Unquoted variable indicating the assigned party.
reps_list	A named list (output of bootstrap_diputados) with elements strata_tbl and total_tbl
total_tbl	Tibble with estimates of proportion of votes per party per repetition (output of bootstrap_diputados) total_tbl must include columns: n_assign seats to allocate, per replication and topped: a logical value whether the party has reached it's maximum number of seats (TRUE)
majority_seats_tbl	Tibble with output from assign_majority. A tibble with columns: rep number of repetition, candidate the party, and n_seats_maj integer, number of seats assigned by majority for each of the parties out of the first 300;

If the party reached/passed its maximum with the majority assignment, n_seats_max is set to n_seats_maj; topped logical, indicates if the party has reached its maximum;

assign_prop returns a tibble where : rep is the number of repetition, party is the name of the party, and n_seats_prop integer, is the number of seats assigned by proportionality and "resto mayor" for each of the parties; n_seats_total integer, is the number of seats assigned by majority and proportional; topped logical, indicates if a party has reached its maximum number of seats;
