The following changes (version 2.1) were made:
1) Display of approval percent for each winner.
2) Display of total dropping cost.
3) Recommendation to use SSD and RP separately for multi-winner
elections. Then DD can be used as the tiebreaker (when SSD and RP
results are different but their dropping costs are the same).
4) Margin as default DD dropping cost (sum of margin and magnitude
remains default for SSD and RP).
5) Documentation changes to reflect all of above.
Because of the following helpfull contributions:
1) Comments and suggestion by Forest Simmons about dark horse
candidates.
2) Stephane Rouillon's observation that minimizing single election round
dropping cost doesn't minimize multi-election round dropping cost.
3) Markus Schulze's argument that DD fails several fairness criteria that
SSD and RP pass and 2).
4) My conclusion that margin as dropping cost will reduce Monotonicity
violation frequency.
5) 1-4.
