For Ernest's proposal, I suggest terms like "Smith-MinMax"
I reply:
MinMax doesn't have a meanng as a method-name, beacuse it's used to refer
too too many different methods. For instance:
Markus continued:
or "Smith-Simpson-Kramer".
I reply:
Simpson-Kramer doesn't resemble PC. I refer Markus to the _Journal of
Economic Perspective_, for Winter '95.
It's been a long time since I looked at that article, but it seems to me
that Simpson-Kramer is based a candidate's votes-for in
pairwise-comparisons, without distinguishing between the candidate's
defeats and his victories.
If Markus wouldn't mind too much, I'll be the one to name the methods that I
propose.
