[EM] simulation results

[Kevin Venzke]

Hi,

I notice Brian Olson's page now has zero-info Approval pictures posted.
http://bolson.org/voting/sim_one_seat/www/spacegraph.html

I notice that it seems to consistently favor candidates closer to the
center of the graph, rather than arbitrarily, so I think it is right,
rather than biased in favor of candidates with a certain index.

Yesterday I wrote a program to try to duplicate this study. I implemented
SU, Condorcet, FPP, zero-info Approval, and VFA, and each of these last
three with "with poll" versions. My pictures don't look nearly as nice
for some reason; I could only get a non-monotonic appearance from FPP
with poll (i.e. top-two runoff). But my results for zero-info Approval
do look generous towards certain candidates, even with a random 
tiebreaker.
