RandProfileTwelveUniform

class poisson_approval.RandProfileTwelveUniform(types=None, d_type_fixed_share=None, **kwargs)[source]

A random factory of twelve-type profiles (ProfileTwelve) following the uniform distribution.

Parameters

types (iterable, optional) – These types will have a variable share. They can be twelve-like types, e.g. 'a_bc' or 'ab_c', or weak orders, e.g. 'a~b>c'. Default: all twelve-like types.
d_type_fixed_share (dict, optional) – A dictionary. For each entry type: fixed_share, this type will have at least this fixed share. The total must be lower or equal to 1.
kwargs – These additional arguments will be passed directly to ProfileTwelve.

Examples

Basic usage:

>>> initialize_random_seeds()
>>> rand_profile = RandProfileTwelveUniform()
>>> profile = rand_profile()
>>> print(profile)
<a_bc: 0.3834415188257777, a_cb: 0.013932411923787802, ab_c: 0.040213280513127, ac_b: 0.10729597173420435, b_ac: 0.0039303209304278885, b_ca: 0.04313073699501224, ba_c: 0.05394987214431912, bc_a: 0.06929525330576336, c_ab: 0.07653567171024511, c_ba: 0.07188975971894951, ca_b: 0.10004796269941518, cb_a: 0.03633723949897072> (Condorcet winner: a)

Using the optional parameters:

>>> rand_profile = RandProfileTwelveUniform(
...     types=['a_bc', 'ac_b'], d_type_fixed_share={'b_ac': 0.8, 'a~b>c': 0.1},
...     voting_rule=PLURALITY)
>>> profile = rand_profile()
>>> print(profile)
<a_bc: 0.052889491975290435, ac_b: 0.04711050802470954, b_ac: 0.8, a~b>c: 0.1> (Condorcet winner: b) (Plurality)
