sim.as.jury.stats {sate} | R Documentation |
Estimates jury-level probability of guilty verdict based on juror-level statistics based on empirical data
Description
Returns estimate of the probability of guilty verdict based on juror-level statistics supplied by user. Also reports inferential statistics. Results are based on an empirical model with greater uncertainty than as.jury.stats function.
Usage
sim.as.jury.stats(
sample_pg,
sample_n,
jury_n = 12,
pstrikes = 0,
dstrikes = 0,
accuracy = 0.15,
digits = 3,
nDraws = 10000,
seed = 12345
)
Arguments
sample_pg |
The proportion of jurors who favor a guilty verdict in the jury pool |
sample_n |
The size of the sample used to estimate sample_pg |
jury_n |
Size of the jury (i.e. 6, 8, or 12); default value is 12. |
pstrikes |
Number of peremptory strikes by prosecution; default value is 0. |
dstrikes |
Number of peremptory strikes by defendant; default value is 0. |
accuracy |
Accuracy of parties' peremptory strikes; a number between 0 and 1; default value is .15. |
digits |
Number of digits to report after decimal places; default value is 3. |
nDraws |
The number of simulations used to generate results. Should be very large number (default = 10000). |
seed |
Set seed for random number generation for replication, default is 12345. |
Value
Returns a list of jury-level statistics to assess effect of a trial error.
