Description

{PRcalc} is an R package that calculates the seat allocation by selecting the highest average methods for the proportional representation system and computes the degree of disproportionality. It also enables to calculate the seat allocation by choosing the several methods of seat allocation for territorially defined constituencies and computes the degree of malapportionment. Notably, this package can be utilized to decompose \(\alpha\)-divergence for inter- and intra-party disproportionality as well as inter- and intra-state malapportionment.
