avg_by_prec

plans

an expression to average. Tidy-evaluated in `plans`.

which draws to average. `NULL` will average all draws, including
reference plans. The special value `NA` will average all sampled draws. An
integer, logical, or character vector indicating specific draws may also be
provided.

draws

Takes a column of a `redist_plans` object and averages it across a set of
`draws` for each precinct.

Enables researchers to sample redistricting plans from a pre-specified
target distribution using Sequential Monte Carlo and Markov Chain Monte Carlo
algorithms. The package allows for the implementation of various constraints in
the redistricting process such as geographic compactness and population parity
requirements. Tools for analysis such as computation of various summary statistics
and plotting functionality are also included. The package implements methods
