Apportionment method criteria

Seat bias

Seat bias is a property describing methods of apportionment. These are methods used to allocate seats in a parliament among federal states or among political parties. A method is biased if it systematically favors small parties over large parties, or vice versa. There are various ways to compute the bias of apportionment methods. When the agents are federal states, it is particularly important to avoid bias between large states and small states. There are several ways to measure this bias formally. (Wikipedia).
