[EM] My Matrix for Kemeny's Rule, n=3

[barnes99]

Here is my matrix for Kemeny's Rule with 3 candidates. Please let me know if I 
got it right or wrong.

Here is an example of a Kemeny Rule tally for profile p, p=(1,1,0,0,0,0), 
where the first thru sixth columns represent, respectively, the number of ABC, 
ACB, CAB, CBA, BCA, and BAC voters.

Voting Vector:

	p=[ 1 1 0 0 0 0 ]

Matrix (M) for Kemeny's Rule:

	[[ 0 1 2 3 2 1 ]
	[ 1 0 1 2 3 2 ]
	[ 2 1 0 1 2 3 ]
	[ 3 2 1 0 1 2 ]
	[ 2 3 2 1 0 1 ]
	[ 1 2 3 2 1 0 ]]


The KR tally is:

	p(M)=[ 1 1 3 5 5 3 ], where

	ABC=[0+1+0+0+0+0]=1
	ACB=[1+0+0+0+0+0]=1
	CAB=[2+1+0+0+0+0]=3
	CBA=[3+2+0+0+0+0]=5
	BCA=[2+3+0+0+0+0]=5
	BAC=[1+2+0+0+0+0]=3


This is the measure of the "distance" from unanimity, so the lower the score
the better. In this example, we have a tie between the ABC and ACB outcomes, 
in which case I guess the final outcome must be A>B~C. This may not be a very 
interesting example, but the point is that I believe this is how to do a KR 
tally with 3 candidates. Please correct me, if I'm wrong.



Thank you,
