What about the election 9:A>B>C 8:B>C>A 6:C>A>B B wins under Black but A wins under Schulze and Ranked Pairs (plus Baldwin, Dodgson, Nanson and Minmax). > And (as I said before) the only reason I proposed Bubble Sorted Borda was > to find a simple method that would beat Black along the same lines as > Black. Unfortunately, at least according to my simulations so far, BSBS is much worse at SU given sincere votes than BSSE or Black. But it's not bad; it's about on par with Schulze and is better than Ranked Pairs. By the way, I think the sort BSBS uses is actually called an insertion sort, not a bubble sort. > After experience with all of these four (and other closely related) > methods I believe that Inverse Nanson (an iterated form of Borda Runoff) > is the best of these four methods based on Borda. What is Inverse Nanson again? How is it different from regular Nanson (or Baldwin)? Is it monotonic? ===== Rob LeGrand [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.aggies.org/honky98/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
