Divisor methods
Description
Functions to directly apply divisor apportionment methods instead
of calling proporz() with a method parameter. All divisor functions call
highest_averages_method() with a different sequence of divisors.
Usage
divisor_round(votes, n_seats, quorum = 0)
divisor_floor(votes, n_seats, quorum = 0)
divisor_harmonic(votes, n_seats, quorum = 0)
divisor_geometric(votes, n_seats, quorum = 0)
divisor_ceiling(votes, n_seats, quorum = 0)
Arguments
votes |
numeric vector with number of votes for each party |
n_seats |
total number of seats |
quorum |
Vote threshold a party must reach. Used as fraction of total votes within if less than 1 otherwise as number of votes. |
