Vectorized D'Hondt Allocation

fast_dhondt.Rd

Optimized implementation of the D'Hondt method for seat allocation across multiple provinces and simulations simultaneously.

Usage

fast_dhondt(
  data,
  cod_prov = codigo_provincia,
  sim = sim,
  partido = partido,
  votos_prov,
  nseats = n_diputados,
  n_next = 0
)

Arguments

data

Data frame with electoral data

cod_prov

Column identifying the electoral district (default codigo_provincia)

sim

Column identifying the simulation (default sim)

partido

Column identifying the party (default partido)

votos_prov

Column with votes in the electoral district

nseats

Column with number of seats per electoral district (default n_diputados)

n_next

Number of additional seats to calculate. This is useful for analyzing the battle for the last seat (default 0)

Value

Data frame with assigned seats. One row per assigned seat.

Details

This vectorized implementation efficiently processes thousands of simulations, applying the standard D'Hondt method used in Spain. Includes calculation of next seats for sensitivity analysis.
