Weighted majority voting is frequently used with the AdaBoost ensemble technique, which is commonly evaluated in the reviewed papers. It has been shown to outperform other plurality methods like classical majority voting or averaging (Polikar, 2006). Moreover, the weighted majority vote is one of ...
The motivation is that, exactly as in corresponding binary voting power analysis, we seek to assess the IMF's weighted voting system from behind a constitutional 'veil of ignorance'. That is, we ignore fluctuating political alliances, correlation patterns, or particular candidate characteristics in ...
the voting process can fail to reliably produce a reliable result. For example, the size of a face may be so small that the precision required to accurately map the location of a point is greater than the precision of the computer system performing these calculations. In these cases, such ...
Starting from the state-of-the-art algorithms for computing the Banzhaf and Shapley–Shubik indices for weighted voting games, we present a framework for fast algorithms for the three most common power indices with precoalitions, i.e., the Owen index, the Banzhaf–Owen index and the symmetric...

Figure 2. Popularity calculations with weighting matrices 𝜂 and 𝜌, respectively, Formulas (31) and (33) have been simplified under binary rating matrix. Suppose user u has 3 friends 𝑢1,𝑢2,𝑢3 and item i has 3 friends 𝑖1,𝑖2,𝑖3. Likewise, a WIS-PAF-recommender would...
Considering that as the parameters 𝜂 ,𝜂 ,𝜈 η̲,η¯,ν̲ and 𝜈 ν¯ increase, the value of the evaluation function becomes very close to zero or even negative, this does not facilitate numerical calculations and comparisons. Therefore, the evaluation function needs to be impr...
