, 3 years ago→Cardinalism and the "majority of consensus"
Line 128:
As we can see, the histograms of cardinal information between any two candidates in an election can reveal to us whether between the two candidates, and their ideological leanings, there is a consensus or a polarization.
As before, the mean of these distributions (not the median) is capable of predicting which candidate is closer to the overall consensus. This is a property independent of the distribution, and thus, it always approximates the "majority of consensus".
