The output of the nslphom function attained solving the problem X --> Y,
that is, mapping votes_election1 to rows and votes_election2 to columns.
The output of the nslphom function attained solving the problem Y --> X,
that is, mapping votes_election2 to rows and votes_election1 to columns.
A list containing all the objects with the values used as arguments by the function.
data.frame (or matrix) of order IxJ with the counts to be initially
mapped to rows. When estimating vote transfer matrices, the votes gained by
the J political options competing on election 1 (or origin) in the I
territorial units considered. The sum by rows of votes_election1 and
votes_election2 must coincide.
data.frame (or matrix) of order IxK with the counts to be initially mapped
to columns. When estimating vote transfer matrices, the votes gained by
the K political options competing on election 2 (or destination) in the I
territorial units considered. The sum by rows of votes_election1 and
votes_election2 must coincide.
Maximum number of iterations to be performed in each dual linear program.
The process ends independently in each system when either the number of iterations reaches
iter.max or when the maximum variation between two consecutive estimates of the
probability transfer matrix is less than tol. By default, 10.
A TRUE/FALSE value. If FALSE, the matrix associated with the minimum HETe after
performing iter.max iterations is taken as solution.
If TRUE, the associated matrix to the instant in which the first decrease of HETe occurs
is taken as solution. The process stops at that moment. In this last scenario
(when min.first = TRUE), iter.max is is forced to be at least 100. Default, FALSE.
A TRUE/FALSE value that indicates whether the problem is solved in integer values in
each iteration: zero (lphom) and intermediate and final (including unit) solutions.
If TRUE, the initial LP matrices are approximated in each iteration to the closest integer solution
solving the corresponding Integer Linear Program. Default, FALSE.
A character string indicating the linear programming solver to be used, only
lp_solve and symphony are allowed. By default, lp_solve. The package Rsymphony
needs to be installed for the option symphony to be used.
A character string indicating the linear programming solver to be used to approximate
to the closest integer solution, only symphony and lp_solve are allowed.
By default, symphony. The package Rsymphony needs to be installed for the option symphony
to be used. Only used when integers = TRUE.
Maximum deviation allowed between two consecutive iterations. The process ends when the maximum
variation between two proportions for the estimation of the transfer matrix between two consecutive
iterations is less than tol or the maximum number of iterations, iter.max, has been reached. By default, 0.00001.
Other arguments to be passed to the function. Not currently used.
