The Discrete Voter Model

The Discrete Voter Model is a method of ecological inference that grew out of Hakeem Angulu's undergraduate thesis for the departments of Computer Science and Statistics at Harvard College.

One can download this package from PyPI here.

This new method of solving the ecological inference problem, using a mixture of contemporary statistical computing techniques, is implemented here. It can be used for multiple racial groups and candidates, and is shown to work well on randomly-generated mock election data.

The requirements can be installed with the included Pipfile. Go here or here for more information on how to use Pipenv.
