How to use in-sentence of “pairwise”:
– It is generally assumed that pairwise comparisons are transitive.
– A pairwise loses to C, so it is certain that all candidates from A through C are in the Smith set.
– For each possible pair of candidates, one pairwise count indicates how many voters prefer one of the paired candidates over the other candidate, and another pairwise count indicates how many voters have the opposite preference.
– It always elects the same candidate as Copeland’s method in cases with no pairwise ties.
– If someone shows what they like more between two options, this preference can be expressed as a pairwise comparison.
– Typically these methods base their calculations on pairwise counts.
– A set of candidates where every candidate in the set pairwise beats every candidate not in the set is known as a dominating set.
