I don't recommend using Equilibrium Average (which I usually call AAR DSV, for Average-Approval-Rating DSV) to elect winner(s) from a finite number of candidates. AAR DSV is nonmanipulable when selecting a single outcome from a one-dimensional range, just as median (if implemented carefully) is, but it is manipulable when used as a scoring function in a way similar to how Balinski and Laraki proposed using median: http://rangevoting.org/MedianVrange.html For more on AAR DSV, please see chapter 3 of my now-completed dissertation: http://www.cse.wustl.edu/~legrand/dissertation.pdf -- Rob LeGrand, psephologist [EMAIL PROTECTED] Citizens for Approval Voting http://www.approvalvoting.org/ ---- Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
