If you have a loop like
for(i=1 to C)
if(x[i]best}{ best=x[i]; ibest=i; }
then you will find the maximum x[] but breaking ties always by choosing the
maximum index i.
However, you can pre-prepare a random permutation of {1,2,...,C} as follows
for(i=1 to C) p[i]=i;
for(i=C down
I did the whole thing over with a trinomial model that took ties into account
as follows:
Let X1, X2, ... be independent identically distributed random variables with
values in
the set {-1, 0, 1}. Let Prob(1)=p, Prob(0)=q, and Prob(-1)=r.
Let XSum be the sum X1+X2+...
Then XSum = W-L,

So I quickly hacked together something to run it through my old
multiwinner code, but I'm getting unusual results. Could someone
check that they get what I'm getting?

Forest,
You surely know statistics better than I do, so let me ask something
I've been wondering about for some time. It even somewhat ties into the
subject you've been discussing.
Say you want to find out who's the best player (team, etc) in a round
robin tournament. However, arranging

The musical group who wanted me to process their election, actually wanted, not
a list of 9 winners, but actually an ordering of all 16 candidates,
top 9 being the winners.

Should the order be a proportional order or a best single winner order? I
guess both are possible although so far the assumption obviously was
proportional set or proportional order.

now updated some more and mentions JQ KM. Note there is a Condorcet cycle.
It seems peculiar if your 9 winners do not include C101.

I added a line to print out the remaining candidates, in decreasing order of
remaining reweighted ballots, as soon as all seats were filled. (After first
finding that if I actually ran the leftover protocol, it only gave one
candidate, because after all the reweighting up to that point, all
13 matches
