Cox_Shugart_correg {Relectoral}

Cox_Shugart disproportionality index corrected ( CS_correg )

Description

This index tries to rectify the defect in the Cox_Shugart index, since the latter is very sensitive to the presence of small political parties. To correct this deficiency, this indicator is calculated by not taking into account parties that do not obtain parliamentary representation. In fact, when its value is calculated the only thing that is done is to eliminate the votes for parties that do not have obtained any seats and those results are passed to the "Cox_Shugart()" function.
