Calculates seat allocation using the D-Hondt method, Sainte-Lague method, and Modified Sainte-Lague method, all commonly used in proportional representation electoral systems. For more information on these methods, see Michael Gallagher (1991)<doi:10.1016/0261-3794(91)90004-C>.

Miscellaneous printing of numeric or statistical results in R Markdown or Quarto documents according to guidelines of the "Publication Manual" of the American Psychological Association (2020, ISBN: 978-1-4338-3215-4). These guidelines are usually referred to as APA style (<https://apastyle.apa.org/>) and include specific rules on the formatting of numbers and statistical test results. APA style has to be implemented when submitting scientific reports in a wide range of research fields, especially in the social sciences. The default output of numbers in the R console or R Markdown and Quarto documents does not meet the APA style requirements, and reformatting results manually can be cumbersome and error-prone. This package covers the automatic conversion of R objects to textual representations that meet the APA style requirements, which can be included in R Markdown or Quarto documents. It covers some basic statistical tests (t-test, ANOVA, correlation, chi-squared test, Wilcoxon test) as well as some basic number printing manipulations (formatting p-values, removing leading zeros for numbers that cannot be greater than one, and others). Other packages exist for formatting numbers and tests according to the APA style guidelines, such as 'papaja' (<https://cran.r-project.org/package=papaja>) and 'apa' (<https://cran.r-project.org/package=apa>), but they do not offer all convenience functionality included in 'prmisc'. The vignette has an overview of most of the functions included in the package.

Provides functions for generating pseudo-random numbers that follow a uniform distribution [0,1]. Randomness tests were conducted using the National Institute of Standards and Technology test suite<https://csrc.nist.gov/pubs/sp/800/22/r1/upd1/final>, along with additional tests. The sequence generated depends on the initial values and parameters. The package includes a linear congruence map as the decision map and three chaotic maps to generate the pseudo-random sequence, which follow a uniform distribution. Other distributions can be generated from the uniform distribution using the Inversion Principle Method and BOX-Muller transformation. Small perturbations in seed values result in entirely different sequences of numbers due to the sensitive nature of the maps being used. The chaotic nature of the maps helps achieve randomness in the generator. Additionally, the generator is capable of producing random bits.
