The Mersenne Twister is a general-purpose pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) developed in 1997 by Makoto Matsumoto (松本 眞) and Takuji Nishimura (西村 拓士). [1] [2] Its name derives from the choice of a Mersenne prime as its period length. The Mersenne Twister was designed specifically to rectify most of the flaws found in older PRNGs.
The structure is similar to the Mersenne Twister, a large state made up of previous output words (32 bits each), from which a new output word is generated using linear recurrences modulo 2 over a finite binary field. However, a more complex recurrence produces a denser generator polynomial, producing better statistical properties.
Instant runoff falls under the plurality-with-elimination family of voting methods, [1] and is thus closely related to rules like the exhaustive ballot and two-round runoff system. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] IRV has found some use in national elections in several countries , predominantly in the Anglosphere .
The exhaustive ballot is a voting system used to elect a single winner. Under the exhaustive ballot the elector casts a single vote for his or her chosen candidate. However, if no candidate is supported by an overall majority of votes then the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated and a further round of voting occurs.
Process of elimination is a logical method to identify an entity of interest among several ones by excluding all other entities. In educational testing , it is a process of deleting options whereby the possibility of an option being correct is close to zero or significantly lower compared to other options.
