V_A>B is the number of ballots that rank A above B. V_A is the number of ballots that rank A at the top. S_A = sum_B M_AB V_B is the score for > candidate A.
M_AB can be any antisymmetric function of V_A>B and V_B>A that is positive if V_A>B > V_B>A. examples: M_AB = V_A>B - V_B>A M_AB = (V_A>B - V_B>A)/(V_A>B + V_B>A) M_AB = sign(V_A>B - V_A<B) Eliminate the candidate with lowest score. Recalculate V_A's and S_A's. Repeat until one candidate remains. ---- Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
