Contrarian Majority Rule Model with External Oscillating Propaganda and Individual Inertias [PDF]
Entropy, 2023 We study the Galam majority rule dynamics with contrarian behavior and an oscillating external propaganda in a population of agents that can adopt one of two possible opinions. In an iteration step, a random agent interacts with three other random agents

Split-based computation of majority-rule supertrees [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011 Background Supertree methods combine overlapping input trees into a larger supertree. Here, I consider split-based supertree methods that first extract the split information of the input trees and subsequently combine this split information into a ...

Challenging the majority rule in matters of truth [PDF]
Erasmus Journal for Philosophy and Economics, 2014 The majority rule has caught much attention in recent debate about the aggregation of judgments. But its role in finding the truth is limited. A majority of expert judgments is not necessarily authoritative, even if all experts are equally competent, if

Majority rule can help solve difficult tasks even when confident members opt out to serve individual interests [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 When sharing a common goal, confident and competent members are often motivated to contribute to the group, boosting its decision performance. However, it is unclear whether this process remains effective when members can opt in or out of group decisions

Democratic Thwarting of Majority Rule in Opinion Dynamics: 1. Unavowed Prejudices Versus Contrarians [PDF]
EntropyI study the conditions under which the democratic dynamics of a public debate drives a minority-to-majority transition. A landscape of the opinion dynamics is thus built using the Galam Majority Model (GMM) in a 3-dimensional parameter space for three ...

Optimal Majority Rule in Referenda [PDF]
Games, 2019 Adopting the group turnout model of Herrera and Mattozzi, J. Eur. Econ. Assoc. 2010, 8, 838−871, we investigate direct democracy with supermajority rule and different preference intensities for two sides of a referendum: Reform versus status quo ...

WMRCA + : a weighted majority rule-based clustering method for cancer subtype prediction using metabolic gene sets [PDF]
HereditasAccurate classification of cancer subtypes plays a pivotal role in advancing precision medicine. In this study, we introduce WMRCA + , a novel clustering approach based on a weighted majority rule that integrates multi-omics data and incorporates ...

The sovereign minority: the qualified majority rule for constitutional amendments
Revista de Investigações Constitucionais, 2023 The paper challenges the widespread intuition according to which the constitutional amendment procedure normatively requires the application of the qualified majority rule as a collective decision rule. To this end, the relationship between majority rule

Majority-Rule Supertrees [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2007 Most supertree methods proposed to date are essentially ad hoc, rather than designed with particular properties in mind. Although the supertree problem remains difficult, one promising avenue is to develop from better understood consensus methods to the more general supertree setting.
