Probabilistic Voting Theory

open access: yes, 1992
Peter Coughlin provides the most comprehensive and integrated analysis of probabilistic voting models to date. Probabilistic voting theory is the mathematical prediction of candidate behaviour in, or in anticipation of, elections in which candidates are unsure of voters' preferences.

Probabilistic tensor voting for robust perceptual grouping

2012 IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Workshops, 2012
We address the problem of unsupervised segmentation and grouping in 2D and 3D space, where samples are corrupted by noise, and in the presence of outliers. The problem has attracted attention in previous research work, but non-parametric outlier filtering and inlier denoising are still challenging.

ASSESSMENT OF VOTING SITUATIONS: THE PROBABILISTIC FOUNDATIONS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
In this paper we revise the probabilistic foundations of the theory of the measurement of 'voting power' either as success or decisiveness. For an assessment of these features two inputs are claimed to be necessary: the voting procedure and the voters' behavior.

Equilibrium in multicandidate probabilistic spatial voting

open access: yesPublic Choice, 1999
This paper presents a multicandidate spatial model of probabilistic voting in which voter utility functions contain a random element specific to each candidate. The model assumes no abstentions, sincere voting, and the maximization of expected vote by each candidate. We derive a sufficient condition for concavity of the candidate expected vote function

POWER INDICES AND PROBABILISTIC VOTING ASSUMPTIONS [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
This paper compares the theoretical bases of the Shapley-Shubik and Banzhaf indices of voting power for a legislature with weighted voting. Definitions based on probabilistic-voting assumptions, useful both as behavioral descriptions and for computation in empirical applications, are compared in terms of necessary and sufficient conditions on the ...

Probabilistic Voting and Equilibrium: An Impossibility Result

open access: yesPublic Choice, 2000
The introduction of voters' uncertainty alone is in no way sufficient to guarantee an equilibrium outcome of a voting process. What is needed in addition is the assumption that the voting probabilities depend strictly convex respectively concave on the utility losses caused by the proposed policies of the different parties. This assumption is, however,

Shifting Hypergraphs by Probabilistic Voting

2014
In this paper, we develop a novel paradigm, namely hypergraph shift, to find robust graph modes by probabilistic voting strategy, which are semantically sound besides the self-cohesiveness requirement in forming graph modes. Unlike the existing techniques to seek graph modes by shifting vertices based on pair-wise edges (i.e, an edge with 2 ends), our ...
