fl250

This data set contains the 250 Precinct shapefile and related data 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
described in Fifield, Higgins, Imai and Tarr (2020) <doi: 10.1080/10618600.2020.1739532>,
