Adaptively Weighted Audits of Instant-Runoff Voting Elections: AWAIRE
Alexander Ek, Philip B. Stark, Peter J. Stuckey +1
An election audit is risk-limiting if the audit limits (to a pre-specified threshold) the chance that an erroneous electoral outcome will be certified. Extant methods for auditing…
Ballot-Polling Audits of Instant-Runoff Voting Elections with a Dirichlet-Tree Model
Floyd Everest, Michelle Blom, Philip B. Stark +3
Instant-runoff voting (IRV) is used in several countries around the world. It requires voters to rank candidates in order of preference, and uses a counting algorithm that is more…
Assessing the accuracy of the Australian Senate count: Key steps for a rigorous and transparent audit
Michelle Blom, Philip B. Stark, Peter J. Stuckey +2
This paper explains the main principles and some of the technical details for auditing the scanning and digitisation of the Australian Senate ballot papers. We give a short summary…
Scaling multi-species occupancy models to large citizen science datasets
Martin Ingram, Damjan Vukcevic, Nick Golding
Citizen science datasets can be very large and promise to improve species distribution modelling, but detection is imperfect, risking bias when fitting models. In particular, obser…
Auditing Ranked Voting Elections with Dirichlet-Tree Models: First Steps
Floyd Everest, Michelle Blom, Philip B. Stark +3
Ranked voting systems, such as instant-runoff voting (IRV) and single transferable vote (STV), are used in many places around the world. They are more complex than plurality and sc…
A Unified Evaluation of Two-Candidate Ballot-Polling Election Auditing Methods
Zhuoqun Huang, Ronald L. Rivest, Philip B. Stark +2
Counting votes is complex and error-prone. Several statistical methods have been developed to assess election accuracy by manually inspecting randomly selected physical ballots. Tw…
Bayesian modelling of lung function data from multiple-breath washout tests
Robert K. Mahar, John B. Carlin, Sarath Ranganathan +3
Paediatric respiratory researchers have widely adopted the multiple-breath washout (MBW) test because it allows assessment of lung function in unsedated infants and is well suited…
