Voting, in some form or other, must have been one of the activities of primitive man: and one can easily picture the cave-dweller expounding, perhaps with illustrations on the wall of his dwelling, some of the difficulties of theory and practice quite as earnestly as we shall consider the subject to-day, and, I am inclined to think,

Necessity conditions in voting theory
Journal of Economic Theory, 1974Abstract In this paper we take some concepts of necessity conditions in voting theory first developed by Inada, Sen, and Pattanaik and refine those concepts to deal with the more commonly discussed case of fixed numbers of voters. These new concepts are then applied to the study of domain restrictions designed to yield quasitransitive and transitive ...

Voting Theory for Concept Detection
2012This paper explores the issue of detecting concepts for ontology learning from text. Using our tool OntoCmaps, we investigate various metrics from graph theory and propose voting schemes based on these metrics. The idea draws its root in social choice theory, and our objective is to mimic consensus in automatic learning methods and increase the ...

Rational choice theory and voting
2017Political economy, in studies of voter and party behavior, usually refers to a specific method: the economic or rational choice method. What people find – and this is not unimportant in applications to voting and party behavior – is that for collectives sometimes they cannot make a prediction, at least for single events, for it turns out there are no ...
