Topic: The Criterion


In the News (Thu 17 Dec 09)

  
 Monotonicity criterion - Voyager, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
The monotonicity criterion is a voting system criterion used to analyze both single and multiple winner voting systems.
This criterion may be intuitively justified by reasoning that in any fair voting system, this must be true.
Furthermore, although all voting systems are vulnerable to tactical voting, systems which fail the monotonicity criterion suffer an unusual form, where voters might try to elect their candidate by voting against that candidate.

 criterion - Definitions from Dictionary.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
—Usage note Like some other nouns borrowed from the Greek, criterion has both a Greek plural, criteria, and a plural formed on the English pattern, criterions.
The plural in -a occurs with far greater frequency than does the -s plural: These are the criteria for the selection of candidates.
Although criteria is sometimes used as a singular, most often in speech and rather infrequently in edited prose, it continues strongly in use as a plural in standard English, with criterion as the singular.
