verticalruleplot: Vertical rule plot

Description

For each claimant, it plots a vertical line with his claim and a point on the awards vector of the chosen rules.

Usage

verticalruleplot(E, d, Rules, col = NULL, legend = TRUE)

Value

This function represents the claims vector and the awards vector assigned by several rules as vertical segments.

Arguments

E: The endowment.
d: The vector of claims
Rules: The rules: AA, APRO, CE, CEA, CEL, AV, DT, MO, PIN, PRO, RA, Talmud, or RTalmud.
col: The colours. If col=NULL then the sequence of default colours is: c("red", "blue", "green", "yellow", "pink", "orange", "coral4", "darkgray", "burlywood3", "black", "darkorange", "darkviolet").
legend: A logical value. The colour legend is shown if legend=TRUE.

Details

Let $N = {1, \dots, n}$ be the set of claimants, $E \geq 0$ the endowment to be divided and $d \in R_{+}^{N}$ the vector of claims such that $\sum_{i \in N} d_{i} \geq E$ .

A vector $x = (x_{1}, \dots, x_{n})$ is an awards vector for the claims problem $(E, d)$ if $0 \leq x \leq d$ and satisfies the balance requirement, that is, $\sum_{i = 1}^{n} x_{i} = E$ .

A rule is a function that assigns to each claims problem $(E, d)$ an awards vector, that is, a division between the claimants of the amount available.

The formal definitions of the main rules are given in the corresponding function help.
