I believe the incidences of agreement among Smith//MinMax, plain MinMax, beatpath and Ranked Pairs are all well over 90% for 15 candidates or fewer. Norm Petry was randomly generating pairwise matrices, not voter preferences, driving the incidence of Condorcet candidates down and disagreement among Condorcet methods up. Smith//MinMax is another ranked-ballot method not in my simulations. Whose idea was Smith//MinMax originally? Does anyone still promote it? ===== Rob LeGrand [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.approvalvoting.org/ __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
