Voting for Voters: A Model of Electoral Evolution [PDF]
Games and Economic Behavior, 1998 In this very interesting paper, the authors initiate an analysis of the evolution of groups, clubs or societies where at a number of fixed intervals, the current members of the group elect new members. In order to give some depth to this initial analysis, the authors impose some simplifying assumptions, among them a quota one rule (that any candidate ...

A multi-voter multi-commission nearest neighbor classifier
Journal of King Saud University: Computer and Information Sciences, 2022 Many improved versions of k-nearest neighbor (KNN) have been proposed by minimizing total distances of multi k nearest neighbors (multi-voter) in each class instead of the majority voting, such as a local mean-based pseudo nearest neighbor (LMPNN) that ...

Electronic Journal of ProbabilityWe study a variant of the voter model on a coevolving network in which interactions of two individuals with differing opinions only lead to an agreement on one of these opinions with a fixed probability $q$. Otherwise, with probability $1-q$, both individuals become offended in the sense that they never interact again, i.e.

Consensus Opinion Model in Online Social Networks Based on Influential Users
IEEE Access, 2019 A framework to consensus opinion model within a networked social group is put forward. The current research in opinion formation within the groups is largely based on the opinion aggregation of each user of the network.

Adaptive voter model on simplicial complexes
Physical Review E, 2020 Collective decision making processes lie at the heart of many social, political and economic challenges. The classical voter model is a well-established conceptual model to study such processes. In this work, we define a new form of adaptive (or co-evolutionary) voter model posed on a simplicial complex, i.e., on a certain class of hypernetworks ...

Opinion control in complex networks
New Journal of Physics, 2015 In many political elections, the electorate appears to be a composite of partisan and independent voters. Given that partisans are not likely to convert to a different party, an important goal for a political party could be to mobilize independent voters

Reducibility of higher-order to pairwise interactions: Social impact models on hypergraphs
Physical Review ResearchWe show that a general class of node-update social impact models with higher-order interactions on hypergraphs can be exactly mapped to an equivalent model with pairwise interactions on a weighted projected network. This mapping preserves the microscopic

In uncertainty we trust: a median voter model with risk aversion [PDF]
Financial Theory and Practice, 2011 The principal-agent problem and uncertainty are some of the key factors affecting financial and political markets. Fear of the unknown plays an important role in human decision making, including voting.
