James, try MRAV using strong preference as the secondary defeat strength on some examples, and tell me if you get a result different from what you would expect. Forest, Chris, I think that with the revised definitions the method is now correctly equivalent to Approval Sorted Margins [aka PSA-Min(AM)]. Note that in the example I give, the DMC winner, "Brad", is found on practically the first step. Well, I'm not counting the matrix reordering. But determining whether Brad is marginally defeated takes many additional steps. -- araucaria dot araucana at gmail dot com ---- Election-methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
