Vote Results

[tythorsen]

When the votes are revealed, the leader and other users should have an easy way of figuring out what the best/winning vote is.

Nominal Decks

A nominal deck is one in which the card values do not have any intrinsic order. That is to say, a vote for card one and a vote for card three does not imply that card two is a better fit.

1. Mode will be the measure of central tendency
   1. Scenario: A single value has the most votes (no ties)
      1. 100% - "Unanimous: [Card Value]"

      2. = 75% - "Consensus: [Card Value]"

      3. = 50% - "Majority: [Card Value]"

      4. < 50% - "Plurality: [Card Value]"
   2. Scenario: Ties
      1. Display "Tie: [Card 1 Value] [Card 2 Value]...[Card N Value]"

Ordinal Decks

An ordinal deck is one where the card values can be ordered or ranked. That is to say, a vote for card one and a vote for card three implies that card two is a better fit.

1. Median will be the measure of central tendency
   1. Only numeric card values will be considered.
   2. Median will be the higher of the two card values in the case of an even number of votes.
   3. Display: "Best Guess (Median): [Card Value]"
   4. Future enhancement will evaluate the range of vote disparity in relation to the best guess.
