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 the SMC algorithm of McCartan and Imai (2023) , the enumeration algorithm of Fifield, Imai, Kawahara, and Kenny (2020) , the Flip MCMC algorithm of Fifield, Higgins, Imai and Tarr (2020) , the Merge-split/Recombination algorithms of Carter et al. (2019) and DeFord et al. (2021) , and the Short-burst optimization algorithm of Cannon et al. (2020) . authors: - family-names: Kenny given-names: Christopher T. email: christopherkenny@fas.harvard.edu - family-names: McCartan given-names: Cory email: corymccartan@nyu.edu - family-names: Fifield given-names: Ben email: benfifield@gmail.com - family-names: Imai given-names: Kosuke email: imai@harvard.edu preferred-citation: type: manual title: 'redist: Simulation Methods for Legislative Redistricting' authors: - family-names: Kenny given-names: Christopher T. email: christopherkenny@fas.harvard.edu - family-names: McCartan given-names: Cory email: cmccartan@g.harvard.edu - family-names: Fifield given-names: Ben email: benfifield@gmail.com - family-names: Imai given-names: Kosuke email: imai@harvard.edu year: '2022' notes: R package url: https://alarm-redist.org/redist/ repository: https://alarm-redist.r-universe.dev repository-code: https://github.com/alarm-redist/redist commit: cf699032ab6627911d099454d3c6461033eb0751 url: https://alarm-redist.org/redist/ date-released: '2024-01-11' contact: - family-names: Kenny given-names: Christopher T. email: christopherkenny@fas.harvard.edu references: - type: article title: Sequential Monte Carlo for sampling balanced and compact redistricting plans authors: - family-names: McCartan given-names: Cory email: cmccartan@g.harvard.edu - family-names: Imai given-names: Kosuke email: imai@harvard.edu year: '2023' volume: '17' issue: '4' journal: Annals of Applied Statistics url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/23-AOAS1763 - type: article title: The essential role of empirical validation in legislative redistricting simulation authors: - family-names: Fifield given-names: Ben email: benfifield@gmail.com - family-names: Imai given-names: Kosuke email: imai@harvard.edu - family-names: Kawahara given-names: Jun email: jkawahara@i.kyoto-u.ac.jp - family-names: Kenny given-names: Christopher T. email: christopherkenny@fas.harvard.edu year: '2020' volume: '7' issue: '1' journal: Statistics and Public Policy - type: article title: Automated redistricting simulation using Markov chain Monte Carlo authors: - family-names: Fifield given-names: Ben email: benfifield@gmail.com - family-names: Higgins given-names: Michael email: mikehiggins@k-state.edu - family-names: Imai given-names: Kosuke email: imai@harvard.edu - family-names: Tarr given-names: Alexander email: atarr@princeton.edu year: '2020' volume: '29' issue: '4' journal: Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics
