The primary way that we evaluate voting methods is by analyzing how frequently different methods fail various fairness criteria. This project is particularly relevant since the state of Maine voted in 2016 to use plurality with elimination as the voting method for many of its elections.David McCuneLori McCunePRIMUS: pro...
The other methods of voting are by rising; by ballot; by roll call, or "yeas and nays," as it is also called; by general consent; and by mail. In voting by any of the first three methods, the affirmative answer aye, or raise the right hand, or rise, as the case may be: then...
We evaluate the tendency for different voting methods to promote political compromise and reduce tensions in a society by using computer simulations to determine which voters candidates are incentivized to appeal to. We find that Instant Runoff Voting incentivizes candidates to appeal to a wider range...
Central to democracy is a willingness of citizens to express their preferences for government leaders. Social scientists have devised various methods to determine citizen participation in the electoral process, although the most common method is to simply ask people, even though not everyone report accu...
Several statistical methods were used to analyze the data. The results show that there exists a considerable trust in technology and its ability to provide users with the needed e-voting systems. The results of the first question showed that trust in e-voting is positively affected by the ...
Greatly improving the KNN classifier by perturbing along K values, training sets, feature selection, distance metric; with numerous voting methods (that are superior to majority vote) implemented as well. - scoliann/KnnEnsemble
Ourdefective voting rulescome from the failure to see there are different uses for voting, and these require different types of voting.“We try to carry over to more complicated situations a method which is only suitable in deciding the simplest sort of issue, that is, whether a question ...
The reason why ensemble methods are employed is to combine some weak clusters into strong one. To create diverse clusters, several approaches can be applied: using different sampling data, using different subsets of the original features, and employing different clustering methods (Şenbabaoğlu et...
We can then sketch out several possible graphs for this scenario, showing what happens if the racers stay tied the whole time, or if different racers lead at different times. Next, we may ask students to consider the meaning of the derivative of this difference function. What does it mean ...
Also known are the voting methods which have not been tested in real elections: use of the radio (patent RU No. 2144655 of Jan. 20, 2000, G07C 13/00 “The method of public-opinion poll, the system for its application and a subscriber's device for putting in the data” (inventors:...
