elections.dtree 2.0.0 (2023-09-16)

• Rewrote the package to use prefio for handling ballots.
• Added the function social_choice for computing election results explicitly.
• Improved documentation in README.

1.1.2

• Improved the sample_posterior multithreading so that the remainder is spread out among the worker threads instead of the entire workload being run on the head process.
• Fixed an issue where sampling from a tree with the n_ballots parameter set to a value fewer than the number of observed ballots replacement raises an error.

1.1.1

Fixed a bug in the dirichlet_tree$sample_posterior method where specifying n_threads=x would result in x+1 threads spawning.

1.1.0

Added a logical parameter replace to the sample_posterior methods. This flag allows you to sample from the posterior distribution without reusing the ballots in the sample.

1.0.3

• Fixed Multinomial overflow issue on libc++, improved documentation.

1.0.2

• Patched the Dirichlet-Multinomial sampling for systems built on libc++.

1.0.1

• Patched concurrency functionality for sample_posterior which prevented compilation on clang systems.

1.0.0

• Initial release
