In pierzgal/disprr: Simulate Proportional Representation Election Results and Compute Disproportionality Measures
disprr: Examine Disproportionality of Apportionment Methods
Election results simulator (built as an R package) that uses uniform, exponential or log-normal probability distributions to generate pseudorandom samples of votes casted for political parties. The package contains functions that eneble a user to e.g.:
employ a variaty of apportionment methods to distribute seats among parties;
use the most popular disproportionality measures ('seat biases', Gallagher Index, etc.) to examine deviations from the so-called 'ideal' numbers of seats (deviations from the proportionality in elections);
* visualize relationships between electoral disproportionality and e.g. district magnitude or a voting formula.
Recent/release notes
The package is still under development (ver. 0.0.4 - pre-alpha) and may contain bugs. Currently, it is just a set of functions. The package also lacks a complete documentation.
