| Title: | Real Datasets for Assessing Ecological Inference Algorithms |
| Version: | 0.0.1-3 |
| Description: | Provides more than 550 data sets of actual election results. Each of the data sets includes aggregate party and candidate outcomes at the voting unit (polling stations) level and two-way cross-tabulated results at the district level. These data sets can be used to assess ecological inference algorithms devised for estimating RxC (global) ecological contingency tables using exclusively aggregate results from voting units.

Ecological inference data sets of the 2002 New Zealand General Election.
Description
This tibble contains 69 data sets corresponding to the 2002 New Zealand General Election. Each data set includes party and candidate vote results by voting unit as well as their associate cross-distributions (for votes and percentages) at the district (electorate) level.
Usage
data(ei_NZ_2002)Format
A tibble containing 69 observations and 6 variables:
Number_of_districtNumber assigned to the district/electorate by the New Zealand Electoral Commission.
DistrictName of the district/electorate.
Votes_to_partiesA tibble for each electorate/district with the party votes recorded in each voting unit of the district.
Votes_to_candidatesA tibble for each electorate/district with the candidate votes recorded in each voting unit of the district.
District_cross_votesA tibble for each electorate/district with the parties-candidates cross-distribution of votes in the entire electorate/district.
District_cross_percentagesA tibble for each electorate/district, with the parties to candidates voter transition probabilities (in percentages) in the entire electorate/district.
Details
Description of the Votes_to_parties, Votes_to_candidates, District_cross_votes and District_cross_percentages variables in more detail, where N(i), R(i) and C(i) denote, respectively, the number of voting units, party voting options and candidate voting options in district i:
Votes_to_parties: A list of 69 tibbles/data.frames, with each data.frame containing N(i) observations and 2+R(i) variables. The two first variables,CityandAddressinform, respectively, about the place in the district where the voting unit is located and the voting unit address. The rest of the columns correspond to the votes gained by the different party voting options competing in the district.

The first variable, which is labelled after the name of the district, contains the names of the parties in the same order than in correspondingVotes_to_partiestibble, the rest of the variables (columns), ordered as in the correspondingVotes_to_candidatestibble, are labelled as the candidate voting options.District_cross_percentages: A list of 69 tibbles/data.frames, with each data.frame containing R(i) rows and 1+C(i) columns (variables). The first variable, which is labelled after the name of the district, contains the names of the parties in the same order than in correspondingVotes_to_partiestibble, the rest of the variables (columns), ordered as in the correspondingVotes_to_candidatestibble, are labelled as the candidate voting options.
Note
The New Zealand Electoral Commission had no involvement in preparing these data sets. The raw data has been pre-processed in order to guarantee their straighforward usefulness in ecological inference procedures. Some small discrepancies exist among the figures in District_cross_percentages and District_cross_votes. The percentages are a direct translation of the published data, whereas the vote counts have been adjusted using integer linear programming to make them congruents with the figures in Votes_to_parties and Votes_to_candidates.

Details
Description of the Votes_to_parties, Votes_to_candidates, District_cross_votes and District_cross_percentages variables in more detail, where N(i), R(i) and C(i) denote, respectively, the number of voting units, party voting options and candidate voting options in district i:
Votes_to_parties: A list of 73 tibbles/data.frames, with each data.frame containing N(i) observations and 2+R(i) variables. The two first variables,PollingandAddressinform, respectively, about the code in the district assigned to the voting unit and the voting unit address. The rest of the columns correspond to the votes gained by the different party voting options competing in the district.

Merge small parties and also small candidates by, respectively, aggregating them in the options 'Other parties votes' and 'Other candidates votes'.
Usage
merge_small_options(x, min.party, min.candidate)
Arguments
x |
A tibble with the same components and structure as the tibbles in the |
min.party |
A number between 0 and 100. Those parties which individually did not reach at least min.party% of the election-district vote are grouped in the option ‘Other parties votes’. |
min.candidate |
A number between 0 and 100. Those candidates which individually did not reach at least min.candididate% of the election-district vote are grouped in the option ‘Other candidates votes’. |
Value
A tibble similar to x with small parties and candidates merged on, respectively, ‘Other parties votes’
and ‘Other candidates votes’, with min.party and min.candidate used to determine when an electoral
option is small.
