pref_voting is a Python packaging that contains tools to reason about election profiles and margin graphs, and implementations of a variety of preferential voting methods.
Project description
pref_voting
Installation
With pip package manager:
pip install pref_voting
Profiles and Voting Methods
A profile (of linear orders over the candidates) is created by initializing a Profile class object. This needs a list of rankings (each ranking is a tuple of numbers), the number of candidates, and a list giving the number of each ranking in the profile:
from pref_voting.profiles import Profile
rankings = [(0, 1, 2, 3), (2, 3, 1, 0), (3, 1, 2, 0), (1, 2, 0, 3), (1, 3, 2, 0)]
rcounts = [5, 3, 2, 4, 3]
prof = Profile(rankings, rcounts=rcounts)
The function generate_profile is used to generate a profile for a given number of candidates and voters:
from pref_voting.generate_profiles import generate_profile
# generate a profile using the Impartial Culture probability model
prof = generate_profile(3, 4) # prof is a Profile object
# generate a profile using the Impartial Anonymous Culture probability model
prof = generate_profile(3, 4, probmod = "IAC") # prof is a Profile object
from pref_voting.profiles import Profile
from pref_voting.voting_methods import *
prof = Profile(rankings, num_cands, rcounts=rcounts)
print(f"{split_cycle.name} winners: {split_cycle(prof)}")
split_cycle.display(prof)
