| Nurmi (1987) investigated the relationship between voting rules by determining the frequency that two rules pick the same winner. We use statistical techniques such as clustering and multidimensional scaling to further understand the relationships between rules. We also investigate how the relationships change when elections with Condorcet winners are excluded from the frequency data, and when the homogeneity of the voting population is increased. |
