Fit the definite integral, from 0 to Q (where Q is a particular state's q) of B/(q+A) to the data points consisting of the states' q and their cumulative numbers. The smallest state's cumulative number is 1. The 2nd smallest state's cumutive number is 2.
That is, fit B*ln(Q/A+1) to the data points consisting of the states' q and their cumulative numbers. Mike Ossipoff ---- election-methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
