compute.stark.t {elec}R Documentation

compute.stark.t

Description

Compute the test statistic for election audits, essentially the largest error found in the audit, as measured by the passed functions and methods.

This is an older method that other methods sometime use—it is probably best ignored unless you have a good reason not to.

Usage

compute.stark.t(Z, bound.col, calc.e_p = calc.pairwise.e_p,
           w_p = weight.function("no.weight"),
           err.override = NULL,
           return.revised.audit = FALSE)

Arguments

Z If it already has an audit table with err and err.weighted then it will use those errors, otherwise it will compute them with compute.stark.err
bound.col This is the vector containing the maximum number of votes possible in the various precincts.
calc.e_p
w_p The weight function to be applied to the precinct error.
err.override If non-null, use this as the found error in votes rather than the actual errors found in the audit.
return.revised.audit Return the updated audit frame with the error and weighted errors calculated.

Value

The test statistic, i.e. the maximum found error in the audit sample, as computed by calc.e_p and weighted by w_p.
