)A dataframe containing columns for each race and candidate converted to percentages and a totals column, ready for Ecological Inference
A dataframe of election results, where each row represents a precinct or geographic voting unit
A character vector of colnames corresponding to turnout counts of each race/ethnicity group
A character vector of colnames corresponding to turnout counts of voters for each candidate
A character string, either "cand" or "race" to set whether totals are computed from candidate turnout or race/ethnicity turnout columns. Ignored if totals_col provided.
A character string with the name of the total vote count column in the data. If null, total votes are computed within the function
A numeric object setting the max allowable deviation of any one precincts' sum of race columns from totals
A numeric object setting the max allowable deviation of any one precincts' sum of candidate columns from totals
A numeric object setting the max allowable mean deviation of all precincts' sum of race columns from totals
A numeric object setting the max allowable mean deviation of all precincts' sum of candidate columns from totals
A boolean indicating whether to return cand and race columns with the same names. If FALSE, names returned with "_prop" added on.
A boolean. When true, columns are standardized ignoring all deviations from totals
A boolean. When true, function returns progress messages.
A boolean. When true, an extra column of booleans is returned indicating whether each row had a deviation from totals
