    ABC voting and BTR-Score are the single best methods by VSE I've ever seen.

      @cfrank said in ABC voting and BTR-Score are the single best methods by VSE I've ever seen.:

      it’s really great you’re working on these kinds of reinforcement learning methods in this field,

      Actually I do not have the mathematical expertise. If my new nonprofit, Voters Takes Charge, (under construction at voterstakecharge.us password no longer needed) receives generous support we may be able to commission such work.

        I think I like it.

        ABC || DEF

        A Stein
        B Williamson
        C West
        D Kennedy
        E Harris
        F Trump

          I wish this investigation had included BTR-RCV

          (side-note: don't call it BTR-IRV, that includes "runoff" twice and is less-clear as a name)

            I wanted to create some figures for an article on MARS voting that I plan to write, but fail to run vse-sim. Is it okay for you when use your results?

                  Does anyone know if BTR-Score is immune to turkey-raising / DH3?

                    Good question. According to Electowiki:

                    Methods that pass dominant mutual third burial resistance [DMTBR] provide no incentive to bury under a dark horse.

                    Following the argument here it is clear that BTR-score fails DMTBR

                    In election (A) and (B) A wins. In (D) the winner is C, but in (E) the winner is A again. (I assumed score from 0 to 2.)

                    where A is the CW, and so (E)->(D) is a DMTBR failure.

                    But this does not exclude the possibilty that the score part reduces the strategic incentive to bury.

                      How should ABC voting treat unmarked candidates?

                        @jack-waugh I think anything except the minimum for unmarked candidates makes it too easy to mark bullet burials. But I don’t know.

                        score-stratified-condorcet [10] cardinal-condorcet [9] ranked-condorcet [8] score [7] approval [6] ranked-bucklin [5] star [4] ranked-irv [3] ranked-borda [2] for-against [1] distribute [0] choose-one [0]
