Abstract

Der Artikel stellt probabilistische Modelle für bewertungsbasiertes Wählen vor, die sich von herkömmlichen rangbasierten Methoden abheben. Er diskutiert die Eigenschaften der Abstimmungsregeln und konzentriert sich dabei auf den probabilistischen Ansatz zur Bestimmung der Wahrscheinlichkeit bestimmter Eigenschaften. Der Text umfasst verschiedene generative Modelle sowohl für kontinuierliche als auch für diskrete Bewertungen, darunter Uniform-, Beta- und räumliche Modelle. Außerdem wird die Verwendung von Copulas zur Modellierung von Abhängigkeiten zwischen Bewertungen hervorgehoben und Beispiele aus der realen Welt zur Anpassung dieser Modelle an beobachtete Daten geliefert. Der Artikel schließt mit der Betonung der Bedeutung dieser Modelle für die Simulation realistischer Abstimmungsszenarien und das Verständnis der zugrunde liegenden Präferenzen der Wähler.
