Welcome to the PB-EAR Algorithm Demo!
🧮 PB-EAR (Proportional Budgeting via Expanding Approval Rule) is an algorithm designed for participatory budgeting. It selects a set of projects that fairly and proportionally represent the community's ranked preferences.

To run the PB-EAR algorithm, please provide the following inputs:
You can simulate both large groups of voters with identical preferences and individual voters with lower weights or unique preferences.
Note: The total weight of a group should equal the number of voters in that group. For example, if you have 10 voters, each should have weight 1.0 (or two voters with weight 0.5, and so on).
Once all inputs are provided, click the submission button to run the PB-EAR algorithm and view the selected projects based on your scenario.
