sample_dirichlet_quantiles: Empirical Dirichlet Quantiles from Multinomial Election Poll

In schliebs/voteR: Variety of Open Tools for Electoral Research

Description

Calculate empirical quantiles from a sample created by sample_dirichlet of a multinomial election poll

Usage

sample_dirichlet_quantiles(vote = c(cdu = 0.5, spd = 0.4, fdp = 0.1),
  sample_n = 1000, n_draw = 10000, show_mean = TRUE,
  show_quantiles = c(0.05, 0.95), round = 2)

Arguments

vote	A labeled party vote share vector.
sample_n	The number of observations in the poll sample.
n_draw	How many samples to draw from the dirichlet distribution.
show_mean	Logical T/F: Show sample mean.
show_quantiles	Vector of quantiles/confidence boundaries to calculate.
round	Logical T/F Round Results to k decimal digits.

Value

A data frame containing n rows of samples for each party.

Warning

Do not operate heavy machinery within 8 hours of using this function.

Examples

sample_dirichlet_quantiles(vote = c(cdu = 0.33,
                          spd = 0.20,
                          fdp = 0.11,
                          linke = 0.09,
                          gruene = 0.09,
                          afd = 0.12,
                          sonstige = 0.05),
                 sample_n = 1000,
                 n_draw = 10000,
                 show_mean = TRUE,
                 show_quantiles = c(0.05,0.95))
