This function returns the awards vector assigned by the proportional rule (PRO) to a claims problem.
Usage
PRO(E, d, name = FALSE)
Value
The awards vector selected by the PRO rule. If name = TRUE, the name of the function (PRO) as a character string.
Arguments
E
The endowment.
d
The vector of claims.
name
A logical value.
Details
Let \(N=\{1,\ldots,n\}\) be the set of claimants, \(E\ge 0\) the endowment to be divided and \(d\in \mathbb{R}_+^N\) the vector of claims
such that \(D=\sum_{i \in N} d_i\ge E\).
The proportional rule (PRO) distributes awards proportional to claims, that is,
$$\text{PRO}(E,d)=\frac{E}{D}d.$$
