Usage

Single winner STAR

To run a single winner election create a pandas dataframe of the ballot data and pass it into the STAR function

from STAR import STAR
import pandas as pd
ballots = pd.DataFrame(columns=['Allie', 'Billy', 'Candace'],
                       data=[*2*[[5,      4,       0]],
                             *1*[[2,      5,       1]],
                             *2*[[0,      4,       5]],])
results = STAR(ballots)
print(results['elected'])

Multi-winner Bloc STAR

To run a multi-winner bloc STAR race, set the input parameter numwinners

results = STAR(ballots,numwinners=2)

Multi-winner Proportional STAR

To run proportional STAR

import pandas as pd
from Allocated_Score import Allocated_Score 
numwinners=2
ballots = pd.DataFrame(columns=['Allie', 'Billy', 'Candace'],
                       data=[*2*[[5,      4,       0]],
                             *1*[[2,      5,       1]],
                             *2*[[0,      4,       5]],])

winner_list = Allocated_Score(5, numwinners, ballots)
print(winner_list)
